A time to be<BR/>born and a time to die. A<BR/>time to plant and a time to<BR/>harvest. A time to kill and<BR/>a time to heal. A time to<BR/>tear down and a time to<BR/>rebuild. A time to cry and<BR/>a time to laugh. A time to<BR/>grieve and a time to dance.<BR/>A time to scatter stones<BR/>and a time to gather stones.<BR/>A time to embrace and a<BR/>time to turn away. A time to<BR/>search and a time to lose.<BR/>A time to keep and a time to<BR/>throw away. A time to tear<BR/>and a time to mend. A time<BR/>to be quiet and a time to<BR/>speak up. A time to love<BR/>and a time to hate. A time<BR/>for war and a time for peace.<BR/><BR/>Here's what remarkable men <BR/>have asseverated about the <BR/>world's bestseller:<BR/><BR/>"I believe the Bible is the best gift <BR/>God has ever given to man. All <BR/>the good from the Savior of the <BR/>world is communicated to us <BR/>through this book." <BR/>-- President Abraham Lincoln<BR/><BR/>"For we must consider that we shall <BR/>be as a City upon a hill. The eyes of <BR/>all people are upon us. So that if we <BR/>shall deal falsely with our God in this <BR/>work we have undertaken, and so <BR/>cause Him to withdraw his present <BR/>help from us, we shall be made a <BR/>story and a byword throughout the <BR/>world." --John Winthrop, Governor <BR/>of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1630<BR/><BR/>"It is impossible to rightly govern the <BR/>world without God and the Bible." <BR/>- President George Washington<BR/><BR/>"The Bible is no mere book, but a Living <BR/>Creature, with a power that conquers <BR/>all that oppose it." - Napoleon<BR/><BR/>"That Book accounts for the supremacy <BR/>of England." - Queen Victoria<BR/><BR/>"If there is anything in my thought or <BR/>style to commend, the credit is due my <BR/>parents for instilling in me an early<BR/>love of the Scriptures. If we abide by <BR/>the principals taught in the Bible, our <BR/>country will go on prospering and to <BR/>prosper; but if we and our posterity <BR/>neglect its instructions and authority,<BR/>no man can tell how sudden a <BR/>catastrophe may overwhelm us and<BR/>bury all our glory in profound obscurity." <BR/>- Daniel Webster (Founding Father)<BR/><BR/>"The Bible is worth all other books which <BR/>have ever been printed." - Patrick Henry <BR/>(original member of the Continental Congress)<BR/><BR/>"The Bible is the anchor of our liberties." <BR/>- President U.S. Grant<BR/><BR/>"It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially <BR/>a Bible-reading people. The principals of the <BR/>Bible are the groundwork of human freedom."<BR/>- Horace Greeley (Editor)<BR/><BR/>"That Book is the rock on which our Republic <BR/>rests." - President Andrew Jackson<BR/><BR/>"In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible <BR/>has never failed to give me light and strength." <BR/>- Gen. Robert E. Lee<BR/><BR/>"Bible reading is an education in itself." <BR/>- Lord Tennyson (Poet)<BR/><BR/>"So great is my veneration for the Bible that the <BR/>earlier my children begin to read it the more <BR/>confident will be my hope that they will prove <BR/>useful citizens of their country and respectable <BR/>members of society. I have for many years made <BR/>it a practice to read through the Bible once <BR/>every year." - President John Quincy Adams<BR/><BR/>"The existence of the Bible, as a Book for the <BR/>people, is the greatest benefit which the human <BR/>race has ever experienced. Every attempt to <BR/>belittle it is a crime against humanity." <BR/>- Immanuel Kant (Philosopher)<BR/><BR/>"The New Testament is the very best Book that <BR/>ever or ever will be known in the world." <BR/>- Charles Dickens (Author)<BR/><BR/>"All human discoveries seem to be made only <BR/>for the purpose of confirming more and more <BR/>strongly the truths contained in the Sacred <BR/>Scriptures." - Sir William Herschel (Astronomer)<BR/><BR/>"There are more sure marks of authenticity <BR/>in the Bible than in any profane history." <BR/>- Sir Isaac Newton (Scientist)<BR/><BR/>"Let mental culture go on advancing, <BR/>let the natural sciences progress in <BR/>even greater extent and depth, and <BR/>the human mind widen itself as much <BR/>as it desires; beyond the elevation<BR/>and moral culture of Christianity, as <BR/>it shines forth in the Gospels, it will <BR/>not go." - Goethe (Author)<BR/><BR/>"I have known ninety-five of the world's <BR/>great men in my time, and of these eight-<BR/>seven were followers of the Bible. The <BR/>Bible is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, <BR/>and an immeasurable distance separates <BR/>it from all competitors." <BR/>- W.E. Gladstone (Prime Minister)<BR/><BR/>"Whatever merit there is in anything that <BR/>I have written is simply due to the fact that <BR/>when I was a child my mother daily read <BR/>me a part of the Bible and daily made me <BR/>learn a part of it by heart." - John Ruskin <BR/>(art critic and social commentator)<BR/><BR/>"The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the <BR/>poor and oppressed. The human race is not <BR/>in a position to dispense with it." - Thomas <BR/>Huxley (Author & Scientist)<BR/><BR/>"The whole hope of human progress is <BR/>suspended on the ever growing influence <BR/>of the Bible." - W.H. Seward (Secretary of State)<BR/><BR/>"America was born a Christian nation. America <BR/>was born to exemplify that devotion to the <BR/>elements of righteousness, which are derived <BR/>from the revelations of Holy Scriptures. Part <BR/>of the destiny of Americans lies in their daily <BR/>perusal of this great book of revelations. <BR/>That if they would see America free and <BR/>pure they will make their own spirits free <BR/>and pure by this baptism of the Holy Spirit."<BR/>--President Woodrow Wilson<BR/><BR/>For Christians, the life and death of Jesus <BR/>are the ultimate expressions of love, and <BR/>the supreme demonstrations of God's <BR/>mercy, faithfulness, and redemption. <BR/>Since Christ's miraculous Resurrection <BR/>on Easter, more than 2,000 years ago, <BR/>Christians have expressed joy and <BR/>gratitude for this wondrous sacrifice <BR/>and for God's promise of freedom for<BR/>the oppressed, healing for the broken -<BR/>hearted, and salvation. --President <BR/>George W. Bush<BR/><BR/>"It cannot be emphasized too strongly <BR/>or too often that this great nation was <BR/>founded, not by religionists, but by <BR/>Christians; not on religions, but on <BR/>the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this<BR/>very reason peoples of other faiths <BR/>have been afforded asylum, prosperity, <BR/>and freedom of worship here."<BR/>--Patrick Henry (original member <BR/>of the Continental Congress)<BR/><BR/><BR/>God designed humans to want to <BR/>believe in something. That's the <BR/>image of God that is in us. But as <BR/>G. K. Chesterton famously put it, <BR/>when we reject the God of the <BR/>Bible, we don't believe in nothing; <BR/>we believe in everything -- including <BR/>Little Green Men. - - Chuck Colson<BR/><BR/><BR/>I am trying here to prevent anyone from <BR/>saying the really foolish thing that people <BR/>often say about Jesus Christ: "I'm ready <BR/>to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, <BR/>but I don't accept His claim to be God."<BR/><BR/>That is the one thing we must not say. <BR/>A man who was merely a man and said <BR/>the sort of things Jesus said would not be <BR/>a great moral teacher. He would either be <BR/>a lunatic -- on a level with a man who says <BR/>he is a poached egg -- or else he would be <BR/>the Devil of Hell.<BR/><BR/>You must make your choice. Either this Man <BR/>was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman <BR/>or something worse .... You can shut Him up <BR/>for fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a <BR/>demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him<BR/>Lord and God. But let us not come up with any <BR/>patronizing nonsense about His being a great <BR/>human teacher. He has not left that option <BR/>open to us. He did not intend to. -- From <BR/>Case for Christianity, by C.S. Lewis<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"Let every student be plainly instructed and <BR/>earnestly pressed to consider well the main <BR/>end of his life and studies is to know God <BR/>and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John <BR/>17:3)." - - - The Laws and Statutes of <BR/>Harvard College in 1643<BR/><BR/><BR/> "All scholars shall live religious, godly, <BR/>and blameless lives according to the rules <BR/>of God's Word, diligently reading the Holy <BR/>Scriptures, the fountain of light and truth; <BR/>and constantly attend upon all the duties <BR/>of religion, both in public and secret."<BR/> - - - Two central requirements in Yale <BR/>College 1745 charter<BR/><BR/>If you stop believing what your professor <BR/>told you had to be true and if you start <BR/>thinking for yourself you may come to some<BR/>conclusions you hadn't expected. You may <BR/>find the Bible makes more sense than you <BR/>thought or were told to think. Allow yourself<BR/>to be ruined, ruined with regard to what you <BR/>always thought could be true. Can you believe <BR/>what you don't understand? You and I believe <BR/>everyday what we don't understand unless it <BR/>comes to the issue of salvation. <BR/> - - - Dr. Woodrow Kroll<BR/><BR/>There is simply no historic foundation for the <BR/>position that the Framers intended to build the <BR/>'wall of separation' that was constitutionalized <BR/>in Everson. The 'wall of separation between <BR/>church and state' is a metaphor based on bad <BR/>history, a metaphor which has proved useless <BR/>as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and <BR/>explicitly abandoned. - - - Chief Justice of <BR/>the US Supreme Court, William Rehnquist<BR/><BR/>In 1796 the US Supreme Court issued this <BR/>ruling, "By our form of government, the <BR/>Christian religion is the established religion,<BR/>and all sects and denominations of Christians <BR/>are placed on equal footing." Some 57 years <BR/>later, after Congress was petitioned to separate <BR/>Christian principles from government, in 1853 <BR/>the House Judiciary Committee issued their <BR/>formal report, including these words: "In this <BR/>age there is no substitute for Christianity. <BR/>This was the religion of the founders of the <BR/>republic, and they expected it to be the <BR/>religion of their dependents. The great vital, <BR/>conservative elements in our system is the <BR/>belief of our people in the pure doctrines <BR/>and divine truths of the gospel of Jesus <BR/>Christ." - - - Dr. Gerald Beavan<BR/><BR/><BR/> "It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, <BR/>to own their dependence upon the overruling <BR/>power of God and to recognize the sublime <BR/>truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and <BR/>proven by all history, that those nations only <BR/>are blessed whose God is the Lord."<BR/>-- President Abraham Lincoln<BR/><BR/><BR/>Trust in yourself and you are doomed to <BR/>disappointment; trust in money and you <BR/>may have it taken from you; but trust in <BR/>God, and you are never to be confounded <BR/>in time or eternity. - D.L. Moody<BR/><BR/>Faith and love are apt to be spasmodic <BR/>in the best of minds. Men and women live <BR/>on the brink of mysteries and harmonies<BR/>into which they never enter and with their <BR/>hand on the door latch they die outside. <BR/>- - GK Chesterton<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for continued ascendancy,<BR/>Dr. Whoami<BR/><BR/>P.S.
