Bible
In all of
my years in the ministry, I have never had anyone ask me to read to them the
works of an atheist such as Kant, Hume, or Voltaire. The only book people ask for when they are
hurting is God’s Word. It is the only
book that will last through the annals of time.
Voltaire,
the French philosopher, did not accept the tenets of Christianity. He rejected the Word of God, and Voltaire
predicted Christianity would be swept from existence and pass into history
within one hundred years of his lifetime.
Voltaire died in 1778. At the time
of his death, he had written ninety-two volumes against the Bible. At an auction after his death, all ninety-two
volumes of his work sold for a mere $4.00 in American currency. Fifty years after his death, the Geneva Bible
Society moved into his house and used his printing press to produce thousands
of Bibles that were distributed worldwide.
Indeed, we can say with assurance, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
The Bible does stand!!

✞ Read and heed the only book that can genuinely change your life.
