What’s The Bible To You?

Do you know the Bible? Do you have one? Do you read it? Is it part of your greatest posession in life? Oh well, i have one for now but throughout my life i had 4 and the 3 of them lost by borrowers. When i went to China, i did not carry one with me because i thought it would be a problem crossing the China border but nah, we did not have any problem. Fortunately, i was able to buy a new Bible out there. Then few months before i left China, someone gave me a very beautiful one (black cover with golden edges), but i gave it away to a South African guy working in Shan Xi Province. I gave it away because he said he does not have a Bible with him. The Bible i personally bought there is still with my stuff that is left in the care of my friend (my former boss).

Now let me share with you some personal views of the Bible by great men:

–>> George Washington, the 1st USA President
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without the Bible.”

–>> John Adams, the 2nd USA President
“The Bible is the best book in th world. It contains more…than all the libraries I have seen.”

–>> Abraham Lincohn, the 16th USA President
“But for this Book we could now know right from wrong. I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.”

–>> Wilson Woodrow, the 28th USA President
“The Bible is the one supreme revelation of the meaning of life.”

–>> Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th USA President
“No educated man can afford t obe ignorant of the Bible.

Happy Sabbath!

Beautiful Prayer!

This was posted in virtual by Charles and I wish that somehow more people prays this way.

“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.

We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.

Amen!”

In my opinion we need more prayers like this. Not only to remind our leaders but also ourselves. This prayer has been prayed by Minister Joe Wright and you may read more of the history here. If those leaders were offended by this prayer, me myself, am not. Every word sounds true in most of our lives. And we truely need the holy spirit to guide us to live that Godly life.

May you have a spirit-filled week-end!

John 3:16

For God
so loved the world
((and arlene))
that He gave His only begotten Son.
That whosoever believeth on Him
shall not perish but have
everlasting life.

This is one of my favorite memory verses.

One of the first memory verses I memorized in my childhood.

One of the verses I let Dimple memorized when she still still a toddler.

I add my name next to the “world” to have that more personal understanding meaning of the verse. You can do the same, too. Started doing this after a week of prayer in highschool and this verse is the theme for the whole week.

Yeah, it is true, God’s love is so great for us. He hates sin but He loves us sinners.

Because of the death at the cross, we still have the chance to have that eternal life.

Happy Sabbath!
