Bible Quote by Mark A. Finley
““What we believe about the Bible makes a dramatic difference in how we live our lives. If the Bible is simply a collection of human ideas, then we can accept it or reject it with little eternal consequence. But if the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, neglecting its teachings has eternal consequences.””
