YEAR OF THE BIBLE

I read this article written on February 3, in 1983, from president Ronald Reagan. In which he declares the year, 1983, as the year of the bible. The summation of it speaks of how the United States was based off of the bible and it's truths, then near the end says this excerpt.

"Now, therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, in recognition of the contributions and influence of the Bible on our Republic and our people, do hereby proclaim 1983 the Year of the Bible in the United States. I encourage all citizens, each in his or her own way, to reexamine and rediscover its priceless and timeless message."

Earlier in the letter he also quoted Abraham Lincoln, saying, the bible is... "the best gift God has ever given to man... But for it we could not know right from wrong."

My heart and mind are in agreement with both presidents, of course. I wish more people, whether they're in America or not, would do this very thing. Reconsider the message of the gospel, or consider it for the first time.
