The book “None of These Diseases” and Keller’s work demonstrate the healthfulness of following that advice. Human medicine did not find this until thousands of years after it was written.

It has been established that in all physical processes, every ordered system tends over time to become more disorganized, and also to lose energy in the form of heat, and to slow down; everything gets old and wears out, or runs down. This increasing randomness, disorder, and cooling is called “Entropy,” and this situation is described in physics by the “Second Law of Thermodynamics.” We see this principle expressed in the Bible (in about one thousand BC), when it says (concerning God): “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

At various times and in various places it has been thought that the earth is flat. In fact, as recently as the sixteenth century, sailors would threaten to mutiny on ocean going ships that sailed too far from land, for fear of sailing off the edge of the earth, which was thought by many to be flat like a table top. There are even a few who believe in a flat earth today. (Some have mistakenly thought that the Bible teaches a flat earth, but it does not. The Bible speaks of the “four corners” of the earth (in Rev. 7:1), but this is only a figurative way of referring to the “four points” (basic directions) of the compass —and this same verse speaks of the “four winds,” which refers to the same thing.)

The word of God is not hard to understand. Instead, it is impossible to fully understand it. As it is a sealed book. That is unless one has the spirit of God to lead them and guide them into all truth.

The number seven is considered to be a lucky number. In Bible terms, it means perfection or spiritual completion. Seven is utilized seven hundred and thirty-five times in the Bible.

The Bible was written by about forty men over a period of about sixteen hundred years dating from 1500 BC to about 100 years after Christ. These men wrote this Scripture as they were given inspiration by God. (2 Timothy 3:16)

In an article someone wrote, “There is nothing that can be added to bring salvation to a soul. “Grace,” he wrote, “wrought salvation with no strings attached.” In another article another person declared. “Grace plus nothing equal salvation.”

Baptism is how we get into Christ. Baptism is always accompanied by faith and repentance. Baptism is God’s terms of surrender. Baptism is our signal to God we have accepted Christ’s gospel. Baptism is the external washing with water and the internal washing away of sin by God. Baptism is “calling on the name of the Lord.” Baptism is being unified with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection. Baptism is “clothing” ourselves with Christ.

The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. Proverbs 20: 5. It has been said that to be careful what you ask for you just might get it. The Bible says; ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7. What a blessing to know that whatever you ask for you will receive it as long as it is in accordance with the word of Jesus Christ. Did you know that we have tremendous tools we can use which is our words, and minds. The Bible tells us over and over again that if we ask for anything in Jesus name we shall receive it.
