I Love The Old Bible

2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version (KJV)

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

From a FB post by my friend Roger Huff

"Just finished preaching from this Bible for probably the last time. I bought it July 3, 1998, the day Tammy and I got ordained in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. I would conservatively estimate I've preached more than 1,200 sermons out of it. Pages are falling out and it's pretty well beat up, so I think it's time to retire it. It's a good one and has served its purpose well. Now I'll find a place of honor for it with  other special belongings."

To which I wrote....

"spurgeon used to say "A person who owns a bible that is falling apart has a life that isn't. "

(isn't falling apart that isn't falling apart"

I close with an old hymn

God's Wonderful Book Divine

What light is that shining so brightly for me?

That gives me such courage, the right way to see.

What hope for my trusting soul ever shall be?

God's wonderful Book Divine.

I love the old Bible, Precious old Bible.

Light on my pathway to shine.

It keeps me so happy, always so happy.

God's wonderful Book Divine.

What hope for the traveler when strength's almost gone?

That makes him determined to keep plodding on.

What sweet consolation from Heaven's white throne?

God's wonderful Book Divine.

I love the old Bible, Blessed old Bible.

Light on my pathway to shine.

It keeps me so happy, always so happy.

God's wonderful Book Divine.

What chart can you trust as a guide for your soul?

When tempests would strand you on some treacherous shore.

What compass will point you to Heaven's bright door?

God's wonderful Book Divine.

I love the old Bible, Old King James Bible.

Light on my pathway it shines.

It keeps me so happy, always so happy.

God's wonderful Book Divine.
