FACE-OFF WITH A GIANT
GOLIATH:
I’m ready for a major battle,
and they have sent me this play toy.
I was looking forward to a challenge,
but I’m facing a mere boy.
What can they possibly be thinking,
sending in a boy like you?
Don’t they know one of your size,
I can trample with one shoe?
DAVID:
What are you thinking, giant,
as I fondle this stone?
You are probably convinced
that I am acting alone.
But there is actually One
who is standing beside me.
A formidable adversary
who you simply cannot see.
He is my moral support,
and He steadies my hand.
And He knows the exact spot
where my stone must land.
You can't know the awesome power
of this entity you face,
Who will cut you down to my size,
and leave your memory in disgrace.
For He is the God of everything,
and He is also mine.
The hand that holds this stone
will be guided by the divine.
As my stone finds its target,
you succumb without a sound.
And the earth beneath you trembles,
as your body hits the ground.
I had the element of surprise,
as you simply could not see,
the invisible enemy you were fighting
was actually God instead of me.

YOU CAN TRUST THE HOLY BIBLE
You can trust the Holy Bible from the first page to the last. You can trust what
it says about the future, and what it says about the past.
There really was a Noah, who built an ark with a hammer and a nail. There really
was a Jonah, who lived after being swallowed by a whale.
There really was a town called Sodom, destroyed by fire and brimstone from
above. And God really did feed the Hebrews with manna, sent to them with love.
There really was a virgin Mary, who conceived Jesus in her womb. And it's true
he came to life again, after being buried in a tomb.
It's true Jesus healed the sick, and gave sight to those who couldn't see. It's
true he healed the deaf, and walked on the Sea of Galilee.
He healed some who couldn't walk, and raised three persons from the dead. He fed
a multitude of people with only two fish and five loaves of bread.
The Bible tells us of hell.....a place for those not forgiven of their sin. And
it tells us of heaven.....a place Christ's disciples are sure to enter in.
The Bible speaks of many things..... some easy, some hard to understand. But the
Bible can be fully trusted, for it came from God's almighty hand.
So, don't pass judgment on the Bible. It's always right, never wrong. For God
has given all its contents, and there's not a verse that doesn't belong.
No, don't pass judgment on the Bible. It's God's infallible Word. Just listen to
God speak as you read it. You'll be blessed by what is heard.
By Pastor Bruce Oyen B. A., M. A., D. Min.
Christians believe The Holy Bible to be the word of God. Here is my poem about the Bible.
THE HOLY BIBLE
Dear Children of the Earth,
From: Your Father in Heaven.
I want my words to touch your inner being,
I want your precious spirit's eyes to be seeing,
I want the world to know that you are mine,
And to put a tingle down your spine!!
You'll find my words in a special book,
It wont take long, just have a quick look.
There are sixty six little books bound inside,
You'll find me in there with arms open wide.
You will see that I sit upon my throne,
Searching the world for a people of my very own.
It tells you all about my worldly creation,
How it all went wrong, and the birth of a nation.
It tells of their lives of trouble and strife,
But mostly it tells of their faith in life.
Its got stories and proverbs and songs galore,
But about a special man, there are gospels four!!
At the centre of my book, is Jesus your special friend,
Although, he's actually there from beginning to end.
And on that day, when you finally realize,
That you need my Son to open your eyes.
He'll be there knocking at the door of your heart,
You only have to say "Sorry, Jesus, I want a new start."
You see that's what my Holy Bible is all about.
It tells that "I LOVE YOU ALWAYS," without a doubt.

INSPIRATION
When I am tired, the Bible is my bed;
Or in the dark, the Bible is my light;
When I am hungry, it is vital bread;
Or fearful, it is armour for the fight;
When I am sick, 'tis healing medicine;
Or lonely, thronging friends I find therein.
If I would work, the Bible is my tool;
Or play, it is a harp of happy sound.
If I am ignorant, it is my school;
If I am sinking, it is solid ground.
If I am cold, the Bible is my fire;
And wings, if boldly I aspire.
Should I be lost, the Bible is my guide;
Or naked, it is raiment, rich and warm.
Am I imprisoned, it is ranges wide;
Or tempest-tossed, a shelter from the storm.
Would I adventure, 'tis a gallant sea;
Or would I rest, it is a flowery lea.
Dr. Amos R. Wells
