Deep down in my being I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is real, personal and powerful. I have absolutely no doubt that what the Bible says is true – each historical letter, historical narrative, poem, genealogy text, book of law, song and historical account of the life of Jesus has archived for us the complex and remarkable story line of God orchestrating his plan on this earth to redeem his people from darkness and give them a way to be restored into right relationship with him.
