Perspectives on the Bible is a study of the Bible with a view to understanding the universal message of God. Jesus said that he came in order that we may have life abundantly. John 20:31 tells us that the words of Jesus are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and that by believing you may have life in his name. Perspectives on the Bible gives us insights into the meaning of Bible passages as they applied to the people "then" and as they apply to you and I today. The key to all of this is to understand that God uses the Bible and uses events and uses you and me to work out a plan for Our Good without destroying our freedom of thought and action. It is the mission of this ministry to present, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our insights and understandings of what may be God"s intentional plan for our world and for individuals in that world.
