2 Timothy 2:2
How Men Hate and Fear the Bible
Only one book is banned from the government schools of America, though once it was in every classroom on the teachers'
desks and read daily to the students.
Only one book is hated and feared by Communists, humanists and other atheistic groups. They claim that it is only a book
of myths and legends, but they cannot tolerate it.
A religious liberal years ago was attacking the Bible in his weekly column in a local newspaper. He said that the Bible
was full of errors, contradictions, superstitions, folklore and mythology. We requested permission from the newspaper to answer
him week by week, line by line.
In our answer, we asked him why, if the Bible was only a man-made book of legends, he could not let it alone. Why the
weird bent to discredit it?
When 10,000 Bibles were sent from America to the people of Romania, Communist Director Nicolas Ceausescu accepted them
in order to get favored-nation status from the United States Congress. He then shipped them to a paper mill to be recycled
into toilet paper. They were so poorly recycled that Bible words such as Esau, Jeremiah and God remained visible (Reader's
Digest, July, 1990, p. 84).
The wicked Communist leader eventually met a horrible death as his regime was toppled by the people he had persecuted.
The anvil of God's Word had broken another little human hammer that beat upon it.
The enemies of God's Word will be judged by the Word which they reject, despise and hate. The redeemed will be saved by
the Word which they accept and love.
A place where senior's can honor the Lord through worship, strengthen and encourage each other through fellowship, grow together
spiritually through the teaching of the Word and benefit others through sharing our experience and faith.

Champions In Christ
Strong and Mighty Warriors
Champions
were found all throughout the Bible.
In studying out the word "champions," I discovered that in Hebrew, the word for
champion is gibbor. It means "strong," " a mighty man," "a valiant man."
Then I decided to check out the Hebrew root
word for champion which comes from the root word gavor. Talk about a loaded word! It means "to be strong," "to prevail," "to
be great," " to be mighty," " to be valiant," " to be courageous." In other words, a champion is a strong and mighty warrior,
one who prevails. I remembered that Abraham's faith was strong. In other words, he had champion (fully persuaded) faith.
I
was also reminded of what Paul said in Ephesians, "Be strong in the Lord." He was saying, "Be a champion." So then I shifted
gears and started looking up the words strong and mighty in the Scriptures. Sure enough they were found all throughout the
Bible.
In both the Old and New Testaments, God commanded His people to be champions. In other words, it is not just
a privilege to be a champion - it is an obligation, an order!
That's what God wants us to be. Champions - strong and
mighty warriors who always prevail.
