Sunday Ponderings

The Artist's Two Youngest Sisters ~ Consantin Hansen


Pondering this afternoon on today's Sunday School discussion as we finished a series of lessons on how we got our Bible and how we know that what we have is God's Word.

In His sovereignty throughout the ages, God has used man to translate His inspired word from the original languages into the languages of the common people. I am thankful for people such as Wycliffe and Tyndale who gave and suffered much in translating the Bible into the English language.


Although there has been resistance to new translations throughout history, God's desire is that we would understand His plan of salvation and come to repentance.

If you'd like further reading, a good book is God's Word in Our Hands: The Bible Preserved for Us by James B. Williams and Randolph Shaylor.
  
 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. 
Isaiah 40:8
