The
Bible—Light,
Truth,
Health,
Happiness,
Education,
Wisdom,
Success,
Salvation
The Bible has all the
principles that we need for this life and the life to
come.
George Washington: “True religion affords [wise] government its surest support…It is impossible to govern the world without the Bible.”
John Quincy Adams: “The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible.”
Daniel Webster: “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering.”
Benjamin Franklin: “Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.”
Abraham Lincoln: “[The Bible] is the best gift God has given to man. But for it, we would not know right form wrong …Take all of this book upon reason that you can and the balance by faith and you will live and die a better man.”
U.S. Grant: “Hold fast ot the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties; write its precepts on your hearts and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for the progress made, and to this we must look as our guide in the future.”
William McKinley: “The
more profoundly we study this wonderful Book, the more closely we observe its
precepts, the better we will become and the higher will be our destiny.”
The Bible reveals God’s law as a basis of good relationships and self-government. As we submit to its precepts, we live healthy, happy, moral lives and do not need external government telling us what to do or how to live. In a world going crazy with lawlessness, here is the only law that will be standing when everything else has collapsed.
The Bible is an Educator without comparison. The Spanish word for library is biblioteca; the Bible is a library!
The following links are to chapters of high value in non-denominational Christian literature.
Its history is the most ancient and comprehensive in existence.
Science and nature have the same Author as the Bible. They shed light on each other and rightly understood, they are not in conflict. The missing links that Darwin hoped still elude scientists who now recognize Intelligent Design and the impossibility that DNA could have evolved by chance. Bible introduces us to a loving and wise Designer.
Business principles and methods are found in the Proverbs that constitute a treasury of practical wisdom for success.
Bible biographies are noble and worthy of emulation in contrast to Hollywood stars whose happiness eludes them.
Poetry and song are the most sublime.
Prophecy inspires faith in God as knowing the future; all that it foretold has come to pass and we may know that what remains will surely be so.
The Bible is a book of
happiness for the family.

The Bible is a book of salvation, the Bible has more benefit than all other books combined.
"This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's character. Here paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand object, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given to you in life, will be opened in the judgment, and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents."
