Our Missions Family // Breaking News // Focus of the Week International Missions Breaking News Last Updated: 21Dec2003 Man's Most Priceless Possession SOURCES:Scriptures ++ Halley's Bible Handbook ++ Unger's Bible Handbook SITUATION: "The Bible is the most priceless possession of the human race." "The vigor of our Spiritual Life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts. I solemnly state this from the experience of fifty-four years. "The first three years after conversion I neglected the Word of God. Since I began to search it diligently the blessing has been wonderful. "I have read the Bible through one hundred times, and always with increasing delight. Each time it seems like a new book to me. "Great has been the blessing from consecutive, diligent, daily study. I look upon it as a lost day when I have not had a good time over the Word of God." -George Muller "As a lover of the sacred Scriptures from childhood, I have always realized what a tremendous treasure the Word of God is and what an indescribable blessing to all who study and receive its great soul-transforming truths into heart and life. Thus, a keen desire has been aroused to stimulate others to read God's Word and to share in the vast benefits of Bible study. -Unge'rs Bible Handbook. "Everybody ought to Love the Bible. "Everybody ought to strive to Live by Bible's teachings. "Everybody ought to be a Regular Reader of the Bible. "The Bible ought to have Central Place in the life and Working of Every Church; and in every pulpit. THE PULPIT'S ONE BUSINESS IS THE SIMPLE EXPOSITORY TEACHING OF GOD'S WORD. -Abraham Lincoln: "I believe the Bible is the best gift God has has ever given to man." -George Washington: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." -John Quincy Adams: "So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children be gin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year." "International Missions Breaking News" prepared by: Neal Smith Salem, Oregon. Email nealice@juno.com.
