DAILY READINGS: Numbers 7:1-89; Proverbs 4:1-27; Mark 15:1-23

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. Hebrews 4:12

Four U.S. Presidents give testimony of the above verse. Andrew Jackson: “The Bible is the rock on which our Republic rests.” Ulysses Grant: “Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties and as our guide for the future.” William McKinley: “The more profoundly we study the wonderful Book…the better citizens we will become.” Woodrow Wilson: “When you have read the Bible, you will know it is the Word of God.” —E. Bennett MacLelland

Precious Holy Bible, treasure rich and rare,
Word of God eternal, balm for ev’ry care;
God’s full revelation of the sin of man,
And of Christ’s redemption, and salvation’s plan. —Alfred P. Gibbs
