"Heaven and earth will pass away, 
but my words will not pass away."
-- Matthew 24:35 (RSV)

--------------

Time is running out. The seconds are ticking away
toward midnight. The human race is about to take
the fatal plunge. 

Which way shall we turn? 
Is there any authority left? 
Is there a path we can follow? 
Can we find a code book that will give us the key
to our dilemmas? 
Is there any source of authority to which we can turn? 

Have we just been placed here by some unknown
creator or force without any clue as to where we
came from, why we are here, and where we are going? 

The answer is "no." 
We do have a code Book. 
We do have a key. 
We do have authoritative source material. 
It is found in the ancient and historic Book we call
the Bible. 

This Book has come down to us through the ages. 
It has passed through so many hands, 
appeared in so many forms -- 
and survived attack of every kind. 

Neither barbaric vandalism nor civilized scholarship
has touched it. Neither the burning of fire nor the 
laughter of skepticism has accomplished its
annihilation. 

Through the many dark ages of man its glorious
promises have survived unchanged. 

-- Billy Braham (DbD)

Prayer:
How often I take for granted the privilege of being
able to read the Bible. Forgive me, LORD.

"For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass
away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law
until all is accomplished."
-- Matthew 5:18 (RSV)
