NOTABLE SAYINGS ABOUT THE BIBLE;

1. ABRAHAM LINCOLN: I believe the bible is the best gift God ever gave to man. All the good from the savior of the world is communicated to us thru this book.
2. GEORGE WASHINGTON: It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the bible. (The most progressive nations are those who have adopted the principles and guidelines in the bible into their laws and constitutions.)
3. NAPOLEON: The Bible is no mere book, but a living creature with a power that conquers all that oppose it.(Hebrews 4:12)
4. DANIEL WEBSTER: If there is anything in my thoughts pr style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we or our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
5. HORACE GREELEY: It is impossible enslave mentally or socially a bible reading people. The principles of the bible are the ground work of human freedom.

The bible was written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit-differing levels of educations-some died before others were born yet it contains a wonderful continuity. 30 OT books 27 NT books that make up the grandest library known to man.

1. 2 Tim 3:15-17 Inspired by God.
2. 2 Peter 3:20-21 All moved/instructed by the HS/God
3. 2 Tim 2:15 Study to be approved by God
4. John 12:48 Will be judged by the words of Jesus/recorded in the NT.
5. Psalms 1 God blesses those who read/meditate/obey his book.

Everybody ought to love the bible-be a daily reader of the bible-strive to live by the bible`s teachings. The Bible ought to have central place in the life and workings of EVERY congregation and in EVERY pulpit! THE PULPIT`S ONE BUSINESS IS THE SIMPLE EXPOSITORY TEACHING OF GOD`S WORD!

There used to be a time whenever anyone had a bible question they went to a member of the Church, BUT NOT TODAY! There is widespread neglect of this book in our country! Oh we talk about it-defend and praise it-exalt it. Many Christians SELDOM EVER LOOK INTO IT! SOME WOULD EVEN BE ASHAMED TO BE SEEN READING IT! We are intelligent about everything else in the world. Why not be intelligent about our Christian beliefs? We read newspapers, magazines, novels but not the bible as we should!

1. Do you read your bible regularly?
2. Can you show some one God`s plan of salvation?
3. Are you a workman for God that has no reason to be ashamed? Will you make a decision today to read this book every day? Meditate upon what it teaches?
4. The only book that tells man where he came from, what he is to do here and where he will go when he dies!
5. Hear believe repent be baptized Lord adds to the church.
