God's Promise To Preserve His Inspired Words

Psalms 12:6-7, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”

The following quotes are beautiful, honoring God's inspired Word. And may I say, today's modern Bible revisions are often NOT based any any legitimate ancient language; but rather, they are the mere rantings of scholarly madmen hellbent on making a buck from marketing their own copyrighted version . . .

“The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all who oppose it.” —Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

“It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.” —Horace Greeley (1811-1872)

“The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.” —Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)

“That book [King James Bible], sir, is the rock on which on republic rests.” —U.S. President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845)

“The Bible has been the Magna Carta of the poor and oppressed. The human race is not in a position to dispense with it.” —Thomas Huxley (1825-1895)

“So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin 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 every year.” —U.S. President John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. ” —U.S. President George Washington (1732-1799)

“The Bible, composes by many authors, over a period of many centuries, yet ONE BOOK, is, in itself, the outstanding Miracle of the Ages, bearing aloft its own evidence of its Superhuman Origin.” —Henry H. Halley (1874-1965)

“The Old Testament is an account of a Nation. The New Testament is an account of a MAN, The Nation was founded and nurtured of God to bring the Man into the world.” —Dr. Henry H. Halley (1874-1965)

“Bible reading is an education in itself.” —Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

“The Bible is worth all other books which have ever been printed.” —Patrick Henry (1736-1799)

“The whole hope of human progress is suspended on the ever growing influence of the Bible.” —U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward (1801-1872)

“God Himself became a Man, to give mankind a concrete, definite, tangible idea of what kind of Person to think of when we think of God. God is like Jesus. Jesus was God incarnate in human form. His appearance on earth is the Central Event of all history. The Old Testament sets the stage for it. The New Testament describes it. As a man, He lived the most strangely Beautiful Life ever known. He was the Kindest, Tenderest, Gentlest, most Patient, most Sympathetic man that ever lived. He Loved people. He hated to see people in trouble. He loved to Forgive. He loved to Help. He wrought marvelous miracles to feed hungry people. For relieving the suffering He forgot to take food for Himself. Multitudes, weary, pain-ridden, and heart-sick, came to Him, and found healing and relief. It is said of Him, and of no other, that if all the deeds of Kindness that He did were written, the world would not contain the books. That is the kind of man Jesus was. That is the kind of Person God is. Then: He Died, on the Cross, to take away the Sin of the world, to become the Redeemer and Saviour of man. Then: He Rose from the Dead: is Alive Now: not merely an historical character, but a Living Person: the Most Important Fact of History, and Most Vital Force in the world today.” —Dr. Henry H. Halley (1874-1965)

God's Promise That He Cares

1st Peter 5:6-10, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

As a Bible preacher, I receive many emails from hurting saints. Many of them tell me that God doesn't seem to answer any of their prayers. They are discouraged and frustrated. To make matters worse, quite a few of them tell me of terrible pastors who have mistreated them. Some tell me that local churches drove them out for telling the pastor that Lordship Salvation is a false doctrine, or that the modern Bible revisions are corrupt. That is so sad and tragic!

You'd think that if there was one place in the world where you could speak the truth, it would be in a local so-called “Christian” church. Sad but true, most of today's churches are corrupt. This includes independent fundamental Baptist churches, most of which have adopted a wrong understanding of what it means to “repent” to be saved. Whereas biblical repentance is simply “a change of mind,” today's incompetent preachers have changed it to mean “turn from your sinful way.” If you add turning away from your sinful bad habits to God's simple plan of salvation, I can assure you with all biblical authority that you will spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell. The only way to be saved is to completely REST in Jesus' death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection three days later. These three things comprise “the gospel” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6.

God cares dear reader. He cares about the accuracy of the Gospel. God cares about the purity of the Holy Bible. God cares about right doctrine, which is truth (John 17:17). And God cares about you dear friend, more than you could ever imagine. When we pray and God doesn't seem to answer, we don't feel like God cares. I admit that I often feel the same way. So what do we do? Do we place God on trial like the heathen world does, blaming Him for the world's poverty, woes and tribulations? Or do we blindly trust the goodness of God in all situations, no matter how ugly things get? I choose the latter. Job 13:15, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.”

I oftentimes feel like God doesn't care, but I know according to the Holy Bible that He does. 1st Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” If the Bible says that God cares, then I know that He does. I decided a very long time ago, that I believe the King James Bible is God's reliable and trustworthy inspired Word. I never second guess or question that belief, because I trust God's Word. No book authored by mankind even compares to the mystique, brilliance, majesty and supernatural nature of the Holy Bible. No book authored by man upholds righteousness, condemns sin, and provides a permanent remedy as a free “gift” from God, except the Bible.

When you feel like God doesn't care dear reader, I encourage you to start counting your blessings; name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. God is always good. Don't ever question that truth. Everything God does is right. God is so good. Psalms:145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”
