*King James Version

Does it seem strange that the King James Version reigned as the Bible version of choice for almost 360 years…….Yet in recent times there has been a direct attack on God’s word?

Who do you think is quietly instigating the removal and replacement of authentic scripture? Did God mistakenly give a version that could not stand up to its own scriptural tests?

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified

Take your stand on the word of God*. Whatever may occur, hold fast the beginning of your confidence firm unto the end. We must search the Word of God*, making it a part of ourselves. A spirit of humility, the spirit of Christ, will help us to know Him who has called us to glory and virtue. In Heavenly Places.

"All His commandments are sure...."

Whatever is built upon the authority of man

will be overthrown;

But

that which is founded upon the rock of

God's immutable word*

shall stand forever.

Sons and Daughters of God, page 38,

The kingdom of God comes not with outward show. It comes through the gentleness of the inspiration of His word*, through the inward working of His Spirit, the fellowship of the soul with Him who is its life. The greatest manifestation of its power is seen in human nature brought to the perfection of the character of Christ. The Ministry of Healing, page 36.

It is the Word of God* abiding in the heart that will quicken the spiritual faculties. Sons and Daughters of God, page 299

the great and precious truths of God's word*.

They are not a mixture of truth and error.

They are without a flaw.

But before that day, God warns men of what is coming. He has always given men warning of coming judgments. Some believed the warning and obeyed the word of God*. These escaped the judgments that fell upon the disobedient and unbelieving. The Story of Jesus, page 179.

will bring a hundred-fold in return.

The people of God have been too easily satisfied with mere surface truths. We should search diligently for the deep, eternal, far-reaching truths of God's word*. Having found them, we shall joyfully sell all, that we may buy the field. The Unwise Use of Money and the Spirit of Speculation, page 13.

"God has, in the natural world, placed in the hands of the children of men the key to unlock the treasure house of His Word*. Church Schools, page 14,

is to be neglected.

He is to preach the word,

not the opinions of men.
