Sighting Light

What's In Your Bible?

I have two Bibles, one, my preferred Bible, is a NIV Scoffield Bible my grandparents, who are now deceased, gave me in 1998.  Some time ago, I accidentally ripped the front cover and repaired with duck tape on the inside. The Bible I take to church is a NIV Student Bible with a two-tone lavender cover and my name embossed on the bottom. I take this one to church because it’s my favorite color and lacks duck tape!  

Each year when we start a new Bible study, I want a new Bible. There are probably several in my Amazon cart.  Then, I realize that a new Bible will not have all of my notes in the margins - and I may need those notes! The Scoffield Bible has study notes and the lavender Bible has sermon notes.  A creature of habit, I continue to use the same Bibles year after year.

This week, the Bible of our 16th President was donated to his presidential library by the family of the man his widow gave it to in 1872.  Many historians claim that Lincoln was the “village atheist, although his second inaugural address was said to have been one of the most religious ever delivered. This week’s headlines claim that Lincoln’s Bible will reveal clues to his religious beliefs. How, I wondered?  Owning a Bible does not make one a Christian.

Inside his Bible, Lincoln wrote, “In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man.  All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it, we could not know right from wrong.  All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.”

So, now we know. 
​What’s in your Bible?




Thank you for reading!  Have a blessed week!

Great blog! I am enlightened every time I open and read mine. I do get a new one every year because I mark mine up so much each year.
