Back to The Bible

“So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people. And the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.” 2 Chronicles 17:9

It is the Word of God that brings peace, that is what it is. If we go to Romans 10:14:

“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

People need the Lord desperately now, more than ever before. Ignorance, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary, means lacking knowledge or awareness in general. Jesus said in John 17:17:

“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”

People are perishing at the moment because of a lack of knowledge of the Word of God. We know that scripture in Proverbs 29:18:

“Where there is no vision (where there is no knowledge) the people perish.”

You see, people don’t know about the power that is available to them through Almighty God. They might be educated but they need Jesus.

That famous British Prime Minister, Lloyd George, said: “Education without Christ simply makes clever little devils.”

Now, that is not funny. That is very true. I remember years ago taking the Seedsower - that big yellow 20-ton truck, with one word on the side of it, JESUS... We took 20 tons of Bibles, clothes and food right up to the North of Central Africa, where Tanzania joins with the Congo - right in the North of Zambia. And I tell you what, those poor people were very poor. Some of them hardly had any clothes on. But you know, the funny thing was, they didn’t want the clothes, they didn’t want the food, they wanted the Bible - Not a tract or the Gospel of John, they wanted the whole Bible, Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms - they wanted the Bible! I will never forget driving home, coming back and driving past these little villages, seeing people sitting out in the sun and some of them on the edge of their little thatch huts, reading the Word of God!

You and I need to pray desperately, not only for South Africa but especially for the first world nations, that they get back to the Bible.

God bless you and have a lovely day!
