Bible

God’s ruler keeps me straight and strong. God’s Word is a ruler that helps us mark out straight paths for our lives. And the Bible is the standard that never changes. It’s what we use to measure all things spiritual. How are you measuring up?

The Bible

Imagine you are walking through the woods in the dark...  

You are lost! You don’t know where you are or where to go! It is so dark; you can’t find your way! But you just keep walking. You feel something in your pocket, the flashlight! You forgot you had it the whole time! You turn on the light and you see the path! As you wander through the woods the light guides you to a safe place!

The Bible is God’s way of giving us a flashlight…

   By reading and memorizing the Bible, we carry our “flashlight with as at all times.!” God says that the Bible is a light for our path. That’s an odd thing to say about a book, right? Well, the Bible is not like any other book! It is the spoken word of God! God chose just the right writers and gave them the ability to create one living Book, which perfectly speaks His exact Word straight to your heart. God's Word promises us He would never leave us! He loves us so much that he wrote a book just for us. It is God’s way of giving us a flashlight to walk the path of life!

It tells us EVERYTHING we need to know.

    It tells us what to do to be happy. It tells us what to do if people are mean to us, or if we are afraid. It tells us what is right and what is wrong. It keeps us deal with troubles when they come. It tells us the right way to go and will even light our way.

The Bible is our light in darkness.

    Darkness is like sin and all the bad things in the world. Light is everything that is good that God made, including God's rules. By reading the Bible it is like always having a flashlight with us. God gave us the Bible so that we may be able to find our way, and know what is good, and right. Pick up the Bible and read about God and you will see ALL the wonderful things He has done! He made us and has given us everything!
