Paul gloried in the cross not the wood of the cross but what was accomplished there. Christ's work of redemption is the basis of our salvation and the apostle loved that truth and had a burning desire to proclaim it.
Paul was changed by the cross. He quickly learned what an impact it would have when he went from being an admired Pharisee to a persecuted preacher. Though he had despised the gospel of Christ he now desired above everything else to know more of Christ and to serve him faithfully.
What does the cross mean to you? Does the preaching of the cross display wisdom to you? Are you dying to self and selfish interests? Can you say with Paul, I glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ?

"God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Galatians 6:14

Welcome to the Baptist Bible Hour! Motivated by a desire for God's glory, we exist to call men and women back to the beauty and sufficiency of the Bible. As God's perfect message to every man, woman, and child, this book stands alone in its majesty throughout history and in its contemporary relevancy.
For many people, even Christians, there is a persistent and tragic disconnect between the narrative and instruction that they see in the Bible, and the problems, challenges, and opportunities that they experience in their daily lives. It is our purpose to bridge this great divide with teaching that has depth and gravity, but is at the same time accessible and relatable. To this end, for over 50 years the Baptist Bible Hour has been broadcasting the Word of God, with a particular emphasis on the sovereignty of God in personal salvation and in every detail of life.
