6 February 2020 with greetings to all that love to read The Book.

I want to share with you an article I read the other day during my devotional time.

John McLean (1785-1861),  a US Postmaster General and justice of the US Supreme Court, wrote this:  

No one can estimate or describe the salutary influence of the Bible. What would the world be without it? Compare the dark places of the earth, where the light of the gospel has not penetrated, with those where it has been proclaimed and embraced in all its purity. Life and immorality are brought to light by the scriptures. Aside from Revelation, darkness rests upon the world and upon the future. There is no ray of light to shine upon our pathway; there is no star of hope. We begin our speculations as to our destiny in conjecture, and they end in uncertainty. We know not that there is a God, a heaven, a hell, or any day of general account, when the wicked and the righteous shall be judged. The Bible has shed a glorious light upon the world. It shows us that in the coming day we must answer for the deeds done in the body. It has opened us to a new and living way, so plainly marked out that no one can mistake it.

I hope you will consider these comments by Mr McLean to be applicable to your life and future. When we all realize Hebrews 9:27 is looming over us and John 3:36 is true, a sane person would flee from the world and run to God. The Bible tells and shares the Truth.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this judgment:

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
