The Scriptures

I recently took my family to visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art for a special, one-of-a-kind new exhibit. Called “Passages,” the display “brings the pages of the Bible to life. This worldwide traveling exhibit allows people of all interests to experience the dramatic and insightful inner workings of the book that has altered history, shaped cultures, inspired minds and changed lives.”
