Is it real?
• In yesterday's Guardian Stuart Jeffries wrote about digital fakery, leading him to question whether anything he sees on his computer is real.
• One of the examples he gives is of a recent ITV documentary about links between the IRA and Gadaffi. It showed video of IRA soldiers supposedly training... which turned out to be video taken from a video game!
• So how do we know if anything is real - not just what we see on our computers but in the papers, in books... in all the "world-view" shaping mediums we use to consume information?
• To me the Bible seems to be as reliable as it gets - not only because of the numbers of early manuscriptsof the New Testament we still have but especially because the Bible's message has an inherent consistency you cannot miss as you read it book by book.

Bible
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20
Prayer
Father God, thank you for revealing yourself to us in Scripture. Help us to trust the Bible as true and help us to trust the Gospel of Jesus Christ as powerful to bring some to faith in you and others to grow in their faith and love for you. Amen
Regards
Kruger
