A SOURCE OF POWER AND INSPIRATION The Holy Bible is a rule and guide of faith; a rule book for right living. It is a comfort in times of adversity and tragedy.

It is a source of power and inspiration. Within its many books may be found solutions for many of things in life that perplex and confound us. In short it is a text book for spiritual growth. However, the Bible is not an easy book to read. To become a source of power and aid it cannot be "Skimmed" over as one often reads a work of fiction.

It requires study! An invaluable aid in getting the most out of your Holy Bible is attendance at church. Moreover, the Bible serves the purpose to the church goer as a text book serves the student in class. It does more, much more, but this is one of its many uses. Make use of your Bible and your church. Both will serve you as great bulwarks throughout life.
