THE POWER OF 'THE SACRED BOOK'
by David J. Stewart | September 2019
There is no other book in human history that is so powerful, life transforming and supernatural than the inspired Word of God. I speak of the inspired King James Bible for English-speaking people. ...
“Now the serpent (there's your rattlesnake right there!)... question the Word of God... This has been the same generation questioning the Word of God. I'm sick of hearing about all the mistakes in the King James version! 'It's not dependable' [critics say]. It is! The night I got saved it was dependable! The night God called me to preach it was dependable! For 43 years, I've been preaching it and declaring it, and it's been dependable to rescue the perishing and care for the dying, and sober the drunkard, and to deliver the dope head! I've never found anything any better! And so you're not going to get me to raise a bunch of questions about the Word of God! When I say the 'Word of God,' I consider the King James Version the Word of God!!!” —Brother Lester Roloff, a needful quote from the awesome MP3 sermon titled, “'THE LIVING BIBLE' EXPOSED!”
It was 23rd U.S. President Benjamin Harris (1833-1901) who wisely said:
“If you take out of your statutes, your constitution, your family life all that is taken from the Sacred Book, what would there be left to bind society together?” —Benjamin Harrison, Twenty third U.S. President
“Did you realize tonight that we're living in a Godless nation, a Christless nation, a Bibleless nation?” —Brother Lester Roloff, a needful quote from the MP3 sermon titled, “'THE LIVING BIBLE' EXPOSED!”
“The world's greatest need is preaching preachers. The Gospel is our emancipation proclamation: let's take it to the slaves of sin.” —Brother Lester Roloff
“Religion starts on the outside, and never gets to the inside; God starts on the inside, and works toward the outside. Grace is an inside worker, because sin is an inside problem.” —Brother Lester Roloff, an awesome quote from the presentation titled, “Hero Of The Faith: Lester Roloff”
I recently heard the tremendous testimony of former New York mobster Michael Franzese (born 1951) who was miraculously born-again while incarcerated in prison. Michael is an encouragement to thousands of former gang members, criminals and mobsters, serving God today to rescue those perishing with the Gospel, and rebuild lives broken and ruined by a life of sin and crime. The part of his testimony that touches my heart the most was how he got saved--A prison guard simply handed him the Word of God!

It was 33rd U.S. President Harry S. Truman (1884-1972, Pastor Jack Hyles' favorite president, who wisely said:
“The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and Saint Matthew, from Isaiah and Saint Paul…. If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State!” —Harry Truman, Thirty third President
Our country's 32 U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), wisely said:
“We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.” —Franklin Roosevelt, Thirty second President
These strong leaders of our nation all understood the importance of the inspired HOLY BIBLE to maintain stability and soundness in our American society.
“People who wish to remain FREE can follow only one plan of action. They must support Christianity against
ALL forms of atheism and secularism.” (SOURCE: PAWNS IN THE GAME, page 127, by William Guy Carr, 1958).The godly success of Pastor Steven Anderson just confirms something true that Pastor J. Frank Norris (1877-1952) said:
“What we need is a school that teaches the whole English Bible. What is needed is a school that will take men from the engine cab, from between the plowshares and teach them the Bible. What is needed is a school that is free from modernism. What is needed is a school that will teach a man how to go out with the Bible under his arms, faith in his heart, and in the power of the Holy Spirit begin in a vacant lot and build a church to the glory of God.”

Even the churches will let you down, and you are unwise to center your life around a church, because churches tend to deteriorate over time as the culture changes. Since churches are comprised of individual people, and we are all a product of our ever-changing culture (be it American, Australian, European or whatever). But God Never changes (Malachi 3:6). The same strict God of the Old Testament sits upon His throne in Heaven today, and His attitude toward those who sin is still the same! Thankfully, He is also the God of the New Testament, which reveals God's wondrous mercy and grace available ONLY through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. No man (or group of men) upon earth could have ever devised such a grand plan of salvation for the human race, with such incredible genius of design, supernatural origin, depth of meaning, fascinating history, and elegant simplicity. Only a willing fool would dare claim that the Holy Bible was authored by mortal men, and the Lord Jesus Christ a mere fraud, and the omnipotent God of Israel a hypothesis. Even a small child can see that there is a God, and that the King James Bible was authored by God. Only man can corrupt man!
“God will not accept anybody who rejects His Word! ...And when I say 'reject the Word,' I mean when we refuse to believe EVERY BIT OF THE WORD OF GOD, I believe the Lord will not accept us!” —Evangelist Lester Roloff, a quote from the awesome needful sermon, “The Devil's Decoys!” (or, “What's Fooling You?”) | MP3
