Daily Living Word with Pastor Daniel & Sheela Daniel Does your perspective on life reflect the knowledge that this earth will one day pass away? How would your life change if you focused your life on the one thing that will never pass away? Matthew 24:35 Amplified Bible (AMP) 35 [a]Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. One of the reasons I believe the Bible is God’s Word is that it has survived so many attacks throughout history. Despite all the attacks throughout history, today the Bible is the greatest single source of culture. It’s the greatest single source for music, art, and architecture. If you take the Bible out of culture, you would destroy most of the major music, artwork, and architecture of the past 2,000 years. Even much of our English language comes from the King James Bible. The Bible is the most despised, derided, denied, disputed, dissected, and debated book in all of history. This Bible has been under attack for centuries — for everything you can imagine. Yet the Bible is still the most read, most published, and most translated book in the world. And, most importantly, it’s still changing the lives of those who apply what it teaches. The Bible has flourished in spite of unrelenting attacks during the past 2,000 years. Voltaire, the famous French philosopher, was a brilliant atheist. He wrote a number of tracts deriding the Bible. He once made a very bold statement: “One hundred years from today the Bible will be a forgotten book.” Today, everyone has forgotten that quote — not the Bible! After Voltaire died, for nearly 100 years, his homestead was used as the book depository for the French Bible Society. They sold Bibles out of his house! It’s now a museum. People have forgotten Voltaire. Nobody forgets the Bible. No matter what attacks come the Bible’s way, it always survives — and it always will. You can depend on that. Ask God for the courage to stand up to those who oppose God’s Word with grace, gentleness, and wisdom.
