The Bible Has Survived and Always Will

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”
Matthew 24:35 (NIV)

The Bible is the most despised, derided, denied, disputed, dissected, and debated book in all of history. It 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.

One of the reasons I believe the Bible is God’s Word is that it has survived so many attacks throughout history. At different times throughout history, it’s been illegal to own a Bible. In fact, that’s still true in some places today. Many people have been arrested, jailed, and even killed because they refused to give up their copies of the Bible. And still the Bible has survived.

Despite all the attacks, today the Bible is the greatest single source for so many cultural achievements. It’s the greatest source for music, art, and architecture. If you took 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 has flourished in spite of unrelenting attacks during the past 2,000 years. Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (NIV). Only the Word of God will last—because truth is eternal. Everything else on Earth will pass away one day.

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, many people have forgotten that quote, but they haven’t forgotten the Bible!

No matter what attacks come the Bible’s way, it always survives—and it always will. You can depend on that.

Cherish The Present

No one lives forever; One day, we all must face the inevitable end. While your loved ones are still by your side, Cherish them, care for them, and give them your time. Crying after they are gone won't compare To the joy of laughing together while they are still here. လူတိုင်း အမြဲအသက်မရှင်ဘူး တစ်နေ့တော့ သေရမှာကြီးပဲ ကိုယ်ချစ်ရတဲ့သူတွေအနားမှာ ရှိနေသေးရင် တန်ဖိုးထားပါ ဂရုစိုက်ပါ အချိန်ပေးပါ သေသွားမှ ငိုနေတာထက်စာရင် ရှင်နေတုန်းအတူရယ်နေရတာ ပိုကောင်းတယ်

Ask God for Help With Your Finances

Ask God for Help With Your Finances Philippians 4:19 (MSG) “You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (MSG) Philippians 4:19 is an amazing and all-encompassing promise regarding God’s provision: “You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus” (MSG). Note these two words: “God will.” It doesn’t say, “God might ” meet your needs. It says, “God will ” meet your needs. It’s written as a fact. God is staking his character and his reputation on it. The verse continues, “God will take care of everything .” It doesn’t say, “God will take care of some needs.” It says he’s got them all covered. Now, it doesn’t say, “God will meet all your greed.” There’s a big difference between needs and wants. If you’re a parent, do you give your kids everything the...
