*What Does The Bible Hold*

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16 
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" NKJV

Fills my memory - rules my heart - guides my feet.   
Breaths life - classifies judgment - remembered forever.  
Wealth of knowledge - defines glory --- river of adventure.

Keys to heaven -- gates of hell -- righteous path - final battle.
Glorifies the Father - confirms the Son - explains the Holy Spirit.
Holy doctrines - binding precepts - true history - indisputable conclusions.

Highest responsibility - rewards the greatest labor.
Direction from the Light of the World -- food for thought.
Designed for a lifetime -- slowly read -- frequently opened.   

The mind of God - state of man - way of salvation. 
Holy practices --- Believers joy ---  doom for sinners.  
Wisdom for the Ages - expression of belief - foundations of faith.  

Cheerful comfort --- defines the ultimate battle --- prayerfully pursued.
Traveler's map - pilgrim's staff - the pilot's compass.  
She soldier's weapon - Christian's charter.

Presidents of the United States of America who have embraced and not feared speaking about the Bible:

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible"
George Washington

"I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book that you can by reason and the balance by faith, and you will live and die a better man"
Abraham Lincoln

"I have always said that a studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands"
Thomas Jefferson

Prayer: Father thank you for providing a powerful book of love letters to me --- The Bible.

La amistad: Ayuda para la santidad

Leer | JUAN 15.12-15 20 de julio de 2012 Cuando Dios creó todo, solo una cosa no tuvo su aprobación. Miró a Adán, quien era el único ser en su clase, y dijo: “No es bueno que el hombre esté solo” (Gn 2.18). El Señor creó a las personas para que tuvieran compañerismo emocional, mental y físico, de modo que pudieran compartir su ser más íntimo unas con otras. Jesús explicó esto a sus discípulos, diciéndoles que debían amarse unos a otros tal como Él los había amado. En una amistad que honra a Dios, dos personas se edifican mutuamente y se animan una a otra a tener un carácter como el de Cristo. Sin embargo, muchas no logran entablar y mantener relaciones que estimulen su fe (Pr 27.17). Lo que hacen es hablar trivialidades propias de simples conocidos: el clima y los asuntos mundiales. Lamentablemente, también los creyentes rehúyen la conversación profunda en cuanto al pecado, la conducta transparente y la vida de acuerdo con los parámetros bíblicos, que servirían para enriquecer ...

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
