As a pastor, I preach from the Lectionary, which is a systematic progression through the Bible over three years. There have been times when it was necessary to go off the Lectionary because of current events that demand our attention. But I cannot remember a time when the lectionary selection for the week matched what we saw on the news as completely as it did this week. The horrific images coming out of Paris, and images like it, often give us pause to consider, is this the end? Are these the end times that Jesus spoke of? Yet in today's lectionary reading from Mark, we hear that wars and rumors of wars are just the beginning of the birthpangs. This thought may not be comforting, unless you have assurance in a saving relationship with Christ.

As we bring our Deep Questions sermon series to a close, it occurs to me that perhaps this question, which was answered last, should have been answered first. After all, it addresses the question of the validity of the Bible - our holy scriptures which we hold fast to as the very inspired word of God. Now, for the past 150 years or so, the validity and veracity of the Bible has been under attack. Most recently, Dan Brown's book "The DaVinci Code" puts forth the notion that the Bible was actually assembled by the pagan emperor Constantine. But as we will see in today's lesson, God's word is secure and reliable, because we know where it came from and who wrote it, and why.
