Strings For Your Harp - The Bible
Excerpts taken from "Heart Breathings"

Part 1. The Beginning
The Bible
The Bible is never
wrong! God does not have
to retract, revise, repair, or recall one word He
has ever spoken. Men give advice, God gives guidance. We have substituted
"the Bible says" for what the Bible
does.
The only people who
want to change the Gospel are those who are
unchanged by it. If men would read
their Bibles more, They would need to
read us writers less.
The power, the prayer,
the pattern, and the progress of the New Testament Church make electrifying
reading!
The Bible - It cannot
be solved or dissolved by human power. It was not put together
by the human mind and cannot be solved
by it. It was not put together
by human hands and cannot be destroyed
by them.
Based on the Ten
Commandments, any nation can progress. Without those commandments,
no nation can retain its soul. Biblical prophecy
is history written before- hand.
Ponder what the "Heroes
of Faith" did without a Bible! (Heb. 11). Consider how little
we do having the full Revelation of Divine Truth.
Interpreters of the
book of "The Acts of the Apostles" seem to be intimidated by two possibilities:
1. The fear of being clubbed by criticism, or
2. The fear of being
ostracized for fanaticism.
The Bible is not
just a series of puzzles to be deciphered, it is a chain of
commandments to be obeyed. Five minutes of Divine
revelation might be more illuminating than five years of
Bible school instruction.
We have a lovely,
lively, liberating Gospel!
