Prodigal:\u00a0 I just finished digging and finding shells.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well I am going to talk about some other type of digging.<\/p>\n

This comes from the book The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel<\/p>\n

Archaeologist John McRay said there’s no question that archaeological findings have enhanced the New Testament’s credibility.\u00a0 No discovery has ever disproved a biblical reference.\u00a0 Further, archaeology has established that Luke, who wrote about one-quarter of the New Testament, was an especially careful historian.\u00a0 Concluded one expert, “If Luke was so painstakingly accurate in his historical reporting (of minor details), on what logical basis may we assume he was credulous or inaccurate in his reporting of matters that were far more important, not only to him but to others as well?”<\/p>\n

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.<\/p>\n
