Before gaining agreement on the Bible's reliability and authority, quoting Bible verses may not prove persuasive. This sermon is a more logical and philosophical argument seeking to answer the question, is it logical to conclude that the God who exists is the God revealed in the Bible?

Kleptomaniac: Who's Really Robbing God Anyway Media Kit?Dr. Frank Chase Jr
Kleptomaniac: Who’s Really Robbing God Anyway media kit is for audiences to share with other readers who want information about the subject of tithing in the land of Israel.
In this message in the iWitness Series, Pastor Palm makes the case for the Bible. This is the last pre-evangelism topic. Once the case for the Bible has been made and accepted, we are free to use the Bible fully in our witnessing. This greatly enhances the power of our message, so it is critical that we demonstrate the uniqueness and truth of the Bible.
