The Bible Lives!

Generation follows generation – yet it lives; Nations rise and fall – yet it lives; Kings, dictators, presidents come and go – yet it lives; Hated, despised, cursed – yet it lives; Condemned by atheists – yet it lives; Scoffed by scorners – yet it lives; Exaggerated by fanatics – yet it lives; Misconstrued and misstated – yet it lives; Its inspiration denied – yet it lives.
