Meeting Our Guide, and Getting Connected to His SPS
In preparation for the next leg of our journey into the Land of Revelation Knowledge, we have visited the first four of the five information booths located here at the Welcome Center of the Word. During these visits, we have: Been introduced briefly to the Bible—and learned a little about what it is and what it isn’t; Been made aware of, and hopefully eliminated some of, the baggage that each of us has brought along on this trip; Been shown the boundaries , or the limitations placed upon, the knowledge that will be made available to us in the land up ahead; and, Examined our spiritual vision to be sure…

Mapping Out the Land of Revelation Knowledge
Now that we have unloaded as much baggage as we can bear to part with at the present time, let’s leave Booth #2 behind and make our way on over to Booth #3—still here at the Welcome Center of the Word—where we will find maps of the Land of Revelation Knowledge that we are preparing to visit. As will any map for any traveler venturing into any new territory, these will prove to be great aids to us as we continue on our journey through the world of the Word. That’s because, through their clear delineation of boundaries, we will be able to determine the extent of, or the limitations imposed upon, the knowledge that will actually be made available to…

Next Stop…the New Birth!
Now that everyone is back on board the train, it’s time for us to leave the Salvation Station; the place where we were introduced to God’s wonderful plan for saving sinners from death and destruction while, at the same time, adopting them as His very own children–in the process, giving them a hope in this life as well as a glorious future in the next. What we didn’t learn here, though, is just how we can appropriate this salvation that God has so graciously provided for us. With that as our immediate goal, let’s make our way to the next stop on our tour, the New Birth Station; where we will not…

All Aboard…For Salvation!
Woo-hoo! The time has finally come for us to embark upon our rocking and rolling trip through the Word of God. So far, we have gone over our travel tips and have gotten our itinerary all worked out. Now, here with our bags packed and our tickets in hand, it is time for us to board the Truth Train and depart for the first stop on our journey, the Salvation Station. At this point, some of you may be wondering why a stop there is necessary at all. For those of you traveling in Group #1—those who may have already experienced salvation, or who may have been involved in the…
