Financial Need

 

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

"For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe." (1 Thess. 2:13)

 

The Importance and Duty of Meditating on the Word of God

By I.C. Herendeen
 

God was not here giving Joshua mere good advice which he would be free to heed or not as he might desire, but instead He was giving him a commandment which he was to “obey,” and that “day and night,” i.e. constantly. And this commandment was not for Joshua alone but for you and me and every other servant and follower of the Lord as well, for “Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning” (Rom. 15:4) and obedience.

The Infallibility of Scripture

By C.H. Spurgeon
(1834 - 1892)

 

“The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”—Isaiah 1:20

 

What Isaiah said was, therefore, spoken by Jehovah. It was audibly the utterance of a man; but, really, it was the utterance of the Lord himself. The lips which delivered the words were those of Isaiah, but yet it was the very truth that “The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” All Scripture, being inspired of the Spirit, is spoken by the mouth of God.

The Wonderful Unity of the Bible Attests Its Divine Authorship

By A.W. Pink
 

The manner in which the Bible has been produced argues against its unity. The Bible was penned on two continents, written in three languages, and its composition and compilation extended through the slow progress of sixteen centuries. The various parts of the bible were written at different times and under the most varying circumstances. Parts of it were written in tents, deserts, cities, palaces and dungeons, some parts in times of imminent danger and others in seasons of ecstatic joy. Among its writers were judges, kings, priests, prophets, partriarchs, prime ministers, herdsmen, scribes, soldiers, physicians, and fishermen. Yet despite these varying circumstances, conditions, and workmen, the Bible is one Book; behind its many parts there is an unmistakable organic unity. It contains one system of doctrine, one code of ethics, one plan of salvation, and one rule of faith. More

 
 

The Scriptures More Precious Than Gold

By Charles Bridges

 

Well might David acknowledge the benefit of affliction, since he had thus learned in God’s statutes something that was better to him than thousands of gold and silver. This was indeed an enlightened judgment for one to form, who had so small a part of the law of God’s mouth, and so large a portion of this world’s treasure. And yet, if we study only his book of Psalms to know the important uses and privileges of this law, and his son’s book of Ecclesiastes, to discover the real value of paltry gold and silver (Eccles. 5:9-20; 6:1, 2), we shall, under Divine teaching, be led to make the same estimate for ourselves. Yes, believer, with the same, or rather with far higher delight than the miser calculates his thousands of gold and silver, do you tell out the precious contents of the law of your God? After having endeavoured in vain to count the thousands in your treasure, one single name sums up their value—”the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Eph. 3:8).  More

Psalm 119 - A Tribute to the Word of God

 

 

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)

 

 

READING THE BIBLE
 
I supposed I knew my Bible
Reading piecemeal, hit or miss:
Now a bit of John or Matthew,
Now a snatch of Genesis
 
Certain chapters of Isaiah,
Certains Psalms - the 23rd
12th of Romans, 1st of Proverbs:
Yes I thought I knew the Word.
 
But I found a thorough reading
Was a different thing to do,
And the way was unfamiliar
When I read the Bible through.
 
You, who that the crown of writings
As you treat no other book -
Just a paragraph disjointed,
Just a crude impatient look  -
True a worthier procedure,
Try a broad and steady view
You will kneel in very rapture
When you read your Bible through.
