Quench the Spirit? (1 Thess 5:19)
Thursday, June 30
What does it mean to "quench the Spirit"? Do you use the word "quench" other than to quench your thirst? Do you quench a candle? Satan's fiery arrows?

For an Informed Love of God
We can no longer assume that people trust their Bible and believe what it says about itself. People say that Genesis 1–11 reads more like a myth than history. The God of the Old Testament is a moral monster who commands genocide. Did the biblical writers get it right, or did they slant, massage, or even create the Bible we have today? How can you believe a Bible that’s full of internal contradictions with itself and external contradictions with science and history? Why should we believe the right books are in the Bible? Many books were left out, like the Gospel of Thomas. If you want to learn more about Bill’s new book, Why I Trust the Bible, including issues he was not able to cover in the book, check out BillMounce.com/trust. Why I Trust the Bible is now available at Amazon, ChristianBook, or your favorite bookstore.
