The Book that Saves the World

A few weeks ago, I picked up a copy of the Wall Street Journal in a hotel. As I was breezing quickly through the sections, my eyes fell on something I could not believe. At the bottom of one page was an ad with this startling header: “THE BOOK THAT SAVES THE WORLD.”IMG_1257

The advertisement was for a book that a biologist had written. Listen to this description…

Presents the reconciling and psychologically helping biological explanation of our ‘good and evil’ stricken human condition. In doing so it unravels the mystery behind human behavior and ends suffering and conflict at its source – providing the now urgently needed road map for the complete transformation of our lives and world.

  • Our problem is not psychological – it is spiritual.
  • Our good and evil condition is not a physical problem – it is a sin problem.
  • Our transformation is not in a man’s book – it is in God’s Book.

The title of the book is Freedom: The End of the Human Condition. Our only freedom is in Christ! And the end of the human condition will only be fully realized when Christ comes and we are made like Him!

A noted professor wrote in his endorsement that this “is the book that saves the world.” THAT BOOK HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN! It is the Bible.

May God help us to read it and share it with others with renewed passion. The world is hungry. Needy souls are looking for answers. Give them the Word of God…it is “the Book that saves the world.”

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
