Today begins our annual Winter Bible Conference here at Bible Baptist Church.  This morning at 8:30 AM and at our Bible Study hour Dr. Ernie Moore will be preaching.  At 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM today, Dr. Raymond Barber from Texas will be preaching as well as Monday - Wednesday evening.  This is a power-packed week of great teaching and preaching.  Be here for each service and bring along your family and friends so that you may get one of Dr. Barber’s books.
 If this is a Bible Conference, let us take a few moments to examine some facts about the Word of God:

There are approximately 592,439 words and 2,728,100 letters in the Old Testament.

God used approximately 40 men to record the Word of God.
Three languages were used to record the Word:  Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
