Is The Bible Valuable? (3)

July 30, 2009

YES, is my resounding answer to that question, even though I am fully aware that not everyone agrees with me. I continue to ponder WHY?

I am convinced that one of the main reasons is that people are afraid of this book called the Bible. I keep asking myself the following questions: Why has it been banned from being read in our schools? Why do most of the media and our society treat its teachings with contempt?

Recently the Associated Press reported a U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that a school board was correct when it did not allow the mother of a kindergarten to read from the Bible during a show and tell session, even though it was the boy’s “favorite book.” It is apparent from the newspaper and TV News that such cases are on the increase.

This does not surprise me because Satan has always said God is a liar. It appears that, if he can’t convince mankind of that, then he will just work to keep people from reading God’s Word where they will find God’s eternal truths.

You might say, “No I’m not afraid of it, I’m just not interested in what it has to say.” But perhaps the real reason is that you already know enough about what it says to know that its recommended way of life is not the way you are living. You’re afraid that reading it will make your realize that God has also given you a choice. A choice just like He gave Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:16). A choice to obey or disobey, to follow God’s way or Satan’s way.

I challenge you. If you are not afraid of the Bible, begin reading it today. Learn what God has done for you, what He offers you in the way of a real full life. It’s Never Too Late as long as you still have breath. After all, what harm will it do?
