Carrying the Bible

Whilst taking my daughter to the stables this Sunday morning I was really encouraged to see a man carrying a Bible on his way to Church. Now that might not seem to significant but really it is. why? because most people are actually embarrassed by the Bible and would avoid carrying one in public at all costs The Bible is such a ridiculed book in our age that people dont want to be associated with it let alone carry one in the street. So I say hats of to this man for taking a stand in this Godless and faithless generation. It seems strange that in a nation that sacrificed so much to bring The Bible, Gods Word to the masses by publishing it in English ,that we should now disregard that same book as not worth the paper its written on. Its sad that we have forgotten that men were burnt at the stake in times past just so that you and I could have access to Holy Scriptures in language that we can understand. Lets pray that the value of the Bible is restored and that once again it will be seen as a book worth defending.
