Next on “In Touch,” “A God-Centered Message.” Dr. Stanley: Well, the Bible is a God-centered book with a God-centered message for God-centered people.
Does that fit you? Well, a few of you. Certainly hope it fits all of us. God-centered book with a God-centered message for God-centered people who want to walk in the ways of God, be obedient to God, experience the blessings of God, which is exactly what happens when we trust Him.

You put it on the shelf somewhere and say, “That’s one of my copies of the Bible.
