well-beaten path. Matthew

Many years ago, Tyndall translated and printed Bibles. The
King of
soldier to Tyndall to buy all of the Bibles. Tyndall quoted an
exorbitant price, which the soldier willingly paid it to get the
Bibles and destroy them. Tyndall took that money and used
it to print thirty times more Bibles than he sold the soldier.

Tyndall got the money to reprint all those Bibles. The
soldier replied, “He did it with the money you paid him.”

THE MOST BOUGHT BUT LEAST READ BOOK
According to a survey taken in
75% of the people that were questioned said they owned
a Bible. However, only one in twenty people could
name the Ten Commandments and 60% did not know
the story of the Good Samaritan. Most British young
people believe the Bible is “irrelevant” and “old
fashioned.” One person thought David and Goliath was
the name of a ship. Owning a Bible is not enough; it has
to be read and heeded on a daily basis.

FOREVER EYES
“Forever Eyes” is a term that means to look at all
things from an eternal perspective. This is important
when establishing priorities. It helps keep a proper
balance with job and home responsibilities, church
activities and everything else that needs to be done. If
you do not use “Forever Eyes,” you may make poor
choices about prioritizing. “Forever Eyes” may cause
you to change plans or make difficult choices, but God’s
ways are always better than our ways. Ask Him to help
you live each day with eternity in mind.
