Although the autographs (original writings) are no longer in existence, there remain over 5,000 manuscripts of the Bible in the form of copies, scraps of copies, Jewish scrolls and early translations into other languages. There are thousands of early letters, books, sermons and commentaries containing quotations from scripture. Most of these translations, copies, sermons, etc., were produced before the year 300 AD. If all the Bibles in the world were destroyed, there are enough reliable manuscripts to completely reproduce the Holy Scriptures with an accuracy rate of 99.5%. Most of the errors (if any were found) would be in spelling or punctuation. This accuracy and authenticity is unmatched by any other book in the world!
SECRET PRAYER
Be sure that you look to your secret prayer; keep that up, whatever you do; the soul cannot prosper in the neglect of it, APOSTASY lurks outside the closet door. P. Henry
THE DEVIL HAS NO GREAT INTEREST IN DESTROYING THE CHURCH; HE WOULD RATHER RUN IT!!!
“GOD NEVER PUTS ANYBODY
Missionary Vision Matthew 9:38
Lord God of Hosts! Open thy people’s eyes
That they may see earth’s whitened harvest field
Widespread. May note the precious grain that lies
Unreaped. Open! That they may see the promised yield
Perish because no sickles touch the grain
Making Thy Son’s great sacrifice in vain.
Lord God of Hosts! Call forth our young and strong
Into Thy harvest field where did the lost
In sin’s black night of fear and hate and wrong.
Lord! Call them forth to toil at any cost
That ransomed multitudes may stand
With those who reaped, at Thy right hand.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.
