A CHICKEN LAID OUR BIBLE

Image
         Max from Vietnam writes this amazing story ‘My grandfather had an amazing memory. Whenever we came to join him in rural Gansu, he taught us about Christ from fragments of verses he had learned from a pastor. In 1995 my grandfather gathered us all together. He said “I have taught you about Christ for over fifteen years from the memory of a pastor who died so that I might have faith. But I have no more to teach you. I committed about five hundred verses of Scripture to memory from that pastor, and I have expounded each of them to you a hundred ways since then. It’s time for us to find the rest of the sacred texts.” We all looked at each other. This sounded impossible; we asked him who would find for us these texts. He replied “God will; we must pray”.

The people thought that in anger he had ruined a very valuable instrument.

Wisdom the Life Giving Fountain

  When a man loves God with all his heart and walks with Him, there is an atmosphere about him. Corrie’s ten Boom’s father was such a man. Casper ten Boom’s influence on the children cannot be properly measured. Eternity will tell the true story of his daily impressions on the family. He walked with God as he worked in his watch repair shop and guided his family. Because he was a truly godly man from deep within, the very character of his person touched every aspect of his house. Casper ten Boom was an everyday, all the day Christian. All day long he linked the Word of God to the things that were happening around their everyday lives. He knew his Bible because he was reading and meditating in it all the time. He was well known for his ability to debate the scriptures. Casper walked with his God; many aspects of his life can validate this, but his prayer life is the crowning proof. He had his times of private prayer which opened the way for the spirit of prayer that was upon h
