Reading The Holy Bible - Going To The Source Instead of Taking Others People Word On It.

I think it is important to read the Holy bible instead of taking others people for what it does or doesn't say. There are things that people say that is in the Bible that isn't and things that people thought wasn't in the Bible but is. 

I got this photo from another site but I don't remember which.


With the Bible in so many translations one has a choice of reading it in ones language. I believe the American Bible Society is a great resource for Bibles. 

I have found the Christian Book Distributers is a great resource for Bibles and many other Christian related items. Here is their section on Bibles. 

I have found that one can get the Bible in e-book form and as an app for ones cell phone / tablet computer. I have found both and use both on my tablet computer and my e-book readers. I suggested one can find the Bible in ones own language online using ones phone (one person I suggested it to found it in his native language). 

I think it is interesting that the first printed book was the Bible (I believe it was the Gutenberg Bible) and the first e-book was also the Bible (I have seen a e-book of the bible by Franklin). I have not really done any research on it but it does sound cool.

The Lord's Pressence

Image
  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at ...

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

Image
This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a varie...

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me pa...
