President's Corner

I have to say that this past month was exciting. It is great to see all those Bibles getting sent out! As each month goes by, we pray and seek the will of God for this business. It is awesome to see His hand on things; working in His exact timing to get His Word to the children he loves at just the right time for each individual. Who we give Bibles to may seem like random chance to us, but stepping back and realizing that God is sovereign over all things makes me feel thankful and humbled that He is allowing us to be a part of His reaching out in love to the lost and downtrodden.
Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” In the Hebrew, the word for ‘Commit’ gives the picture of rolling something heavy off a steep hill. Once you have pushed it off the hill, there’s no stopping it. Being a part of Bibles Cover The Earth is a way that you can commit to getting the Word of God out into the world. As you read this newsletter right now, I pray that you will make your plan to reach the lost for our Lord Jesus and then, as Proverbs instructs, commit that work to the Lord. Imagine that your commitment to do the work of the kingdom is like a large boulder that you are going to push off the hill. Tell yourself that once you have started it, nothing is going to stop you.
Bibles Cover The Earth is just one of the ways you can plan to help the people who are lost and searching for the truth. As Christians, like Paul did with Timothy, we need to be constantly encouraging each other to fight the good fight of faith. I encourage you today to be involved in whatever way God is leading you. Please take some time this week to spend with God in prayer about how he wants you to commit. --BH

Our Biggest Month Ever!

Last month, the newsletter laid out the Steps to Success for the Bibles Cover Earth program. (Click here to see June’s Newsletter.) We are happy to say that even with just a few distributors (that we know of) following these simple steps, the month of June saw more Bibles go out into the world than any other month so far! Above is a picture of the load of Bibles that were sent to the prisons in Arkansas…and this was only one of the shipments made. Thanks to everyone so far who has made a donation through the Make a Donation Page . Just think: Because of your generosity, someone incarcerated in one of the Arkansas prisons is reading their new Bible, maybe for the first time. Think of the impact that is having! Since we sent these men and women their new Bibles, more requests from other prisoners have come pouring in. Picture in your imagination one of these people in jail asking for a Bible of their own and see if you are not moved to help them.

We are excited to be a part of this program that is being used to help reach the lost. If you are a Distributor, we hope you are too. Be encouraged that if you participate in the program, you will be successful in one way or in many ways. But just like anything you want to be successful at, we need you to take an active role. Please take a little time out of your busy day to send a note or email to the people you know to ask them to support this program ; either by making a tax deductible donation to one of the outreach programs, or by joining us as a Distributor in our quest to get the Word of God to this world that so desperately needs it. The time you spend will be well worth it!

If you would like some help with ideas for a letter or email to send to your contacts, please let us know.

Fight the Spin

I was in Church the other day looking over the new song book and I noticed something strange. The publishers had changed the words to the song Amazing Grace. This first line goes like this as much of us know:
“Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.”

The new line went like this:

“Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that came to set me free.”

I thought about the changes a long time and realized that they reflect the culture that we now live in. I can just hear the publishers discussing the changes in the song,

“We can’t keep this the way it is. Calling someone a wretch this day in time is horrible. We have to change the words to be more politically correct. We might be accused of hate language.”

Why do we do such things? I believe it is because we do not want to face the truth of who we really are. We kill babies in the womb and we’re not baby killers, or murderers of infants, we’re pro-choice. We exchange God’s plan for human sexuality and it’s not weird, queer, or strange, it’s gay. We live in adultery with another person and we are not adulterers or fornicators, we are a significant other.

If we can change the name of our sin into something that sounds positive then we convince ourselves that it is alright. We call it positive spin. The source of this idea of positive spin originated strangely enough in the Garden of Eden. I’m paraphrasing…

Satan: “Has God said?”

Eve: “Yea, God has said not to eat of the Tree of Good and Evil; for the day we eat we will die.”

Satan: “ Bologna ! You won’t die. God is holding out on you. God knows that the minute you eat of the Tree, you will be like God. You’ll know both good and evil.”

You will be like God is a long way off from you will die, but the spin worked then and it’s working today. Positive spin keeps us from acknowledging our errors and faults and keeps us from repenting. If we can convince ourselves that we have done nothing wrong then there is no need to seek God’s forgiveness.

The Word of God teaches us that we are called to be a holy people, sanctified by the truth. The word, holy, in Hebrew means set apart. What are we set apart from? I think the Apostle Peter states it very well in 1 Peter 2:9:

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. “

Now compare this verse to John 1:4-5:

“In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shown in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

Here is the answer. We have been called out of darkness, but what if we fail to heed that call? Then we stay in darkness where we can not comprehend the light. To make our darkness bearable, we put a positive spin on it and call it something besides darkness.

There are many today who reside in this camp. They are very zealous for their position and respond adamantly when attacked by the light even to the point of denying there is a God. God calls those who dwell in this camp tares, darkness, and goats. Here is what the Word says about this camp:

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel should shine unto them” – 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.

The same spin that Satan used in the garden on Adam and Eve he is now using on many people today. As people accept and believe the spin a vast darkness is growing in man over the earth. What can we do? We can put a flood-light into the hands of every person. That flood-light is the glorious gospel of Jesus, the Word of God, the Holy Bible. We at Bibles Cover The Earth have started but we need your help. Each and every month we send out Bibles to people who have written and requested a Bible with their name embossed on it. Each Bible represents a flood of light going somewhere in the darkness to share the gospel and to expose the lies of Satan’s positive spin.

Don’t think that you are unaffected by this Satanic spin. It affects every one, and if not exposed and destroyed it will affect each succeeding generation to a greater degree. It’s now even affecting the age-old songs that we have sung for generations.

At Bibles Cover The Earth our vision has always been to Spread the Word, to get the glorious gospel into the hands of any person that wants it by sending out Bibles or by empowering people who want to work for the gospel with our compensation plan. Once again we encourage you to help us, become active. It really takes very little time but the effects of our combined effort can be enormous. Together, let’s all shine the Light. --DFH
