Three Comments on the Bible and a Fourth

 "Even as I suffer hardship in imprisonment, as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.” 2 Timothy 2.9

       Robert Ingersol wrote: “I am going to put the Bible out of business.” Dude, you were a really smart fellow, but you’re dead and the Bible is still a best-seller.

       The great French philosopher Voltaire said: “Another century and there will not be another Bible on earth.” Dude, after you died, someone bought your house and used it as a Bible distribution center. And what I said to Robert? Ditto for you.

       Thomas Payne said that when he was done, there would be less than a dozen Bibles in America. Dude! Thanks for your help in the revolution, but I have that many Bibles myself.    

"And so, I thought, the Anvil of God's Word

For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,

The Anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone." — Attributed to John Clifford
                

Prayer: Lord, Your word is forever.
