Is the Bible relevant for today?

"Ideas, books, and people come and go, but the Bible and the truth it contains is for all time. That is why the Bible is a living Book and can be trusted for its advice and direction and knowledge of God at the beginning of the twenty-first century just as much as it could be trusted by first-century Christians. God has given us a message that is not only for past times and this time, but for all time." - Billy Graham
