  5. The Uniformity of the Bible The Bible is a collection of 66 books written... Over a period of 1600 years. By 40 authors from every walk of life. From dozens of different locations. At different times and during different moods. On three continents, and in three languages. About hundreds of controversial topics. Yet there is harmony and continuity!

  10. Fulfilled Prophecies in the Bible Prophecies in the Old Testament foretold events in detail that were beyond the scope of human speculation. How did the writers do it? By the power of God! God declared that such evidence was a proof of His existence and superiority over men and all heathen gods - Isaiah 41.21-24; 42.8-9; 46.8-11

  11. A few examples... The fall of Babylon, written two hundred years before it occurred - Isaiah 13.17-22 The fall of Egypt, that it would be destroyed more by civil war than by outside forces - Isaiah 19.1-4 The fall of Nineveh, with its utter desolation - Zephaniah 2.13-15 The fall of Tyre, with its becoming a place for the spreading of nests - Ezekiel 26.1-5

  14. The impact of the Bible on civilization “If you take out of your statutes, your constitution, your family life all that is taken from the Sacred Book, what would there be left to bind society together?” - Benjamin Harrison

  15. The impact of the Bible on individuals The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. - Psalm 19.7-11

  16. The impact of the Bible on individuals “So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year.” - John Quincy Adams

  18. The impact of the Bible on individuals “If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity. ” - Daniel Webster

  19. “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book.” - Abraham Lincoln

  20. “Within the covers of this one single book, the Bible, are all the answers to all the problems we face today. If only we would read it and believe.” - Ronald Reagan

  21. So shall I keep Your law continually,forever and ever.And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts.I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love.My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes. - Psalm 119.44-48

  22. And Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14.15)Do you love God? Jesus? The Bible?Will you obey this very day?
