The Holy Bible

Psalms 119:11 Thy Word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee.
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, the happiness of believers, light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, the Christian's charter, a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.
Its doctrines are holy. Its precepts are binding. Its histories are true. Its decisions are immutable.
Christ is its grand subject, our good its design and God's glory its end.
Read it to be wise. Believe it to be safe. Practice it to be holy.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. It is given you in life, it will be opened at the Judgment, and it will be remembered forever. 
It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.
