New Versions On
The Way
Catholic New
American Version
We are excitied. We have been
trying to add the different Bible translations that many
of you have requested. We are proud to announce that
within a month we will add the Catholic New American
translation and the New Inernational Version or
NIV. We hope that these new versions will open new
opportunities for you to offer a Bible to someone who
wants or needs one. We should now be able to offer
just about any translation of the Bible, and will simply
wait on requests from you and others before ordering and
offering any additional versions. So, if you have
a need or request for other translations, please email
us. Once there is an adequate demand for a
version, we will try our best to provide
it.
New International
Version
We are
introducing some new terms. With these new
versions of the Bible, we are going to move away from
the "Bible Pack" idea we have previously been
providing. While our current Bible Packs will
remain available, we are now going to offer any of
our Bible versions for purchase as single
Bibles (not a part of a Bible Pack). In other
words, Embossing Centers and customers will be able to
buy one, two, or multiple Bibles in any
combination they choose. On the shopping cart page of
the BiblesCoverTheEarth.com website, some of you may
have already noticed the term "C.V." next to the
listed retail and wholesale price of any
item available. C.V. stands for
Commissionable Value. The C.V. of each
Bible will be listed with the price. Only those
Qualified Embossing Centers that need to be
"active" for profit sharing purposes will need
to pay attention to the C.V. of their monthly
purchase. Previously, one Bible Pack equaled 60
C.V. Each of our single Bibles will now have a
C.V. of 30. Therefore, any Qualified Embossing
Center will need to have 60 or more of C.V. in any
given monthly cycle to be considered "active"
as described in the Profit Sharing Plan on the
website.

The Word is a Rock and a Life
Vest
This
month our country and our lives seem to be threatened
with more uncertainty. The economy has suddenly
become very complicated and many are concerned about
their finances. I want to take this time and this
occasion to encourage you in the Lord. God's Word will
prevail forever no matter what comes our way. It will
always be a source of comfort, strength, and safety.
Jesus assured us that heaven and earth may pass away but
not "one jot or tittle" of God's Word will pass
away. It is this confidence we have
in God's Word that has been the motivation for Bibles
Cover The Earth. There is nothing else that can supply
mankind with the revelation needed at this time in our
history. We believe that the time will come when mankind
will realize that we need God's intervention in our
lives and people will seek God fervently for answers. It
is His Word that supplies every answer. Those who have
access to a Bible will be much farther along than those
who do not. Every Bible that is sent out becomes a
possibility and an opportunity. Many of our Embossing
Centers are sending out their Bibles routinely and we
want to thank you for your dedication.
Many people we talk to wonder if we are in the
last days or if these mishaps we are experiencing are
signs of the "birth pangs" forewarned by Jesus. I don't
think anyone can say for sure, but I could make a list
of things as long as my arm that are presently
threatening our present way of life, everything from
global warming to radical Islam. This present economic
crisis is just one more thing that can cause us worry
and stress. That is unless we are confident that God is
still on the throne, and that He has not been caught
off-guard by this present set of circumstances. I am
reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 7:24-27.
Therefore whoever hears these
sayings (Words) of mine and does them, I will liken him
to a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it
was founded upon a rock. And every one that hears these
sayings of mine and does them not, shall be likened to a
foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house: and it fell and great
was the fall of it.
Four things stand out in this reading:
1.
1.
It is our choice on which foundation we
build our house.
2.
2.
It is inevitable that the rain and storms
are going to come.
3.
3.
If our house is built on the "rock" of
God's Word, we are not only wise in God's eyes; but our
house will stand the tempest.
4.
4.
If our house is built on any other
foundation, we are a fool, our house will eventually
fail, and the failure will be great.
This parable from Jesus is comparing our life to that
of a house and the foundation He is describing is the
rock of His Word. We have all seen a home under construction.
It is built with one "two by four" and one brick
at a time. Those "two by fours" and bricks in our life are
the decisions that we make. No one is exempt from
decision making and every decision made carries with it
a consequence. It is how we make those decisions and
what we base them on, however, that is vital to wisdom
and to survival. Here is the challenge:
Man does not live on bread
alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of
God - Matthew 4:4.
To be wise, our decisions must correspond to the
truth of God's Word. Ignorance of His ways and His Word
causes us to build our house on sand that shifts with
every opinion and every wild idea.
It seems that so many are just wondering when
something else is going to pop up. Many are upset about
the election choices and wonder what is going to happen
to America . Will it lose its greatness?
At Bibles Cover The Earth we are dedicated to the
Word of God and our Vision will always be to get a Bible
into the hands of every person on this earth. Many of
you are helping us to fulfill this vision and again we
thank you. Stand firm in the comfort of God's Word and
do not be distraught about the things that we see
happening around us. Remember we are to be IN the world
but not OF it. I believe that we will experience many
weird and strange things before Jesus returns. As I
close I want to share with you a vision I received the
other night. In the vision I was standing on the deck of
huge ship. The ship was in the middle of the ocean and
millions of people were drowning in the huge waves. The
deck was full of life vests and I began to throw them to
the drowning victims as fast as I could. I grew tired
quickly but I knew that if I quit, millions of people
would perish. Slowly others came to my aide and began to
throw more of the life vests. Totally exhausted I leaned
against the rail to rest. It was then that I saw that
the life vests weren't really life vests at all but
Bibles. As I saw the people in the water struggling to
catch the Bibles being thrown to them, these words came
to me:
My son, attend to My Words;
incline your ear unto My sayings. Let them not depart
from your eyes; and keep them in the midst of your
heart. For they are life unto those that find
them, and health to all their flesh -
Proverbs 4:20-22.
Thanks to all the Embossing Centers who are
helping us throw "life vests."-DFH |
