Dear Young Christian:
In 1964, an older brother in appealing to young people wrote the following. I will quote it just as it was given:
Young Christians: I beg of you to read your Bible. Make a friend of your Bible, love your Bible, reverence it deeply, look upon it as a precious legacy to be guarded with care. Let the infidel scoff and the worldling laugh. Readers and treasurers of God’s Holy Word, don’t blush when your flippant associates discover the well-worn Testament on your desk or in your pocket.
I am passing this on to my readers 57 years later as I believe its message is still relevant and vital. The writer of Psalm 119 said, “O how love I Thy law! it is my meditation all the day … . Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them” (verses 97, 165). The Apostle Paul said to Timothy, “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord” (2 Timothy 1:8). Let’s take these words to heart as we head out this week.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
