Last night I met with T an illegal immigrant for six years and now detained awaiting deportation. He asked me for a bible in Hausa and one was given to him. Where do you tell a Muslim to start reading? I suggested Genesis, Psalms and Matthew. What do you think?
Quotes
Why is it that we can't get a child to read the Bible at home, but when in prison they will!
Either the Bible will keep you away from sin, or sin will keep you away from the Bible!
Before you complain, read the Book.
Just as the Holy Spirit came upon the womb of Mary, so He came upon the brain of a Moses, a David, an Isaiah, a Paul, a John and the rest of the writers of the divine library. The power of the Highest overshadowed them, therefore that holy thing which was born of their minds is called the Holy Bible, the word of God. The writing of Luke will, of course, have the vocabulary of Luke and the work of Paul will bear the stamp of Paul s mind. However, this is only in the same manner that the Lord Jesus might have had eyes like his mother s or hair that was the same color and texture as hers. He did not inherit her sins because the Holy Spirit has come upon her. If we ask, how could this be, the answer is God says so. And the writings of men of the Book did not inherit the errors of their carnal minds because their writings were conceived by the Holy Spirit and born out of their personalities without partaking of their fallen nature. If we ask, how could this be, again the answer is God says so. -- DONALD GREY BARNHOUSE,
