  • 00:39:36.690 --> 00:39:40.561
  • Book of all time obscures an even more startling fact,
  • 00:39:40.561 --> 00:39:46.267
  • And that is that the bible is the bestselling book of the year
  • 00:39:46.267 --> 00:39:50.871
  • Every single year.
  • 00:39:50.871 --> 00:39:54.542
  • [audience applauding]
  • 00:39:54.542 --> 00:39:59.547
  • In the united states alone, 50 bibles are sold every minute,
  • 00:39:59.547 --> 00:40:05.519
  • 72,000 every day, and 26 million every year.
  • 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:12.393
  • By comparison, the top five bestsellers combined
  • 00:40:12.393 --> 00:40:17.264
  • Sold 12 million copies.
  • 00:40:17.264 --> 00:40:20.301
  • The total number of bibles printed and distributed since
  • 00:40:20.301 --> 00:40:23.771
  • They began to take note of it is between 6 and 7 billion bibles.
  • 00:40:23.771 --> 00:40:30.711
  • By comparison, the top bestselling single-volume books
  • 00:40:30.711 --> 00:40:34.482
  • Of all time are, "a tale of two cities,"
  • 00:40:34.482 --> 00:40:37.952
  • 200 million; "the lord of the rings,"
  • 00:40:37.952 --> 00:40:40.254
  • Tolkien wrote it as a single book, 150 million;
  • 00:40:40.254 --> 00:40:43.791
  • And "the little prince," 140 million.
  • 00:40:43.791 --> 00:40:47.895
  • The disparity between bible sales and even
  • 00:40:47.895 --> 00:40:50.664
  • The best five books we can put up against it is amazing.
  • 00:40:50.664 --> 00:40:55.436
  • In fact, the gideons alone, during their 100 years
  • 00:40:55.436 --> 00:40:58.973
  • Of ministry, have distributed 1.6 billion copies
  • 00:40:58.973 --> 00:41:03.143
  • Of god's word in more than 190 countries
  • 00:41:03.143 --> 00:41:06.614
  • Around the globe.
  • 00:41:06.614 --> 00:41:09.216
  • They're just one of many-- just one of many entities
  • 00:41:09.283 --> 00:41:12.019
  • Committed to the worldwide distribution of scripture.
  • 00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:15.122
  • Hundreds of publishers, thousands of outlets,
  • 00:41:15.189 --> 00:41:18.893
  • And millions of people are sharing the good news of christ
  • 00:41:18.893 --> 00:41:22.763
  • As revealed in the bible.
  • 00:41:22.763 --> 00:41:26.400
  • Did you know that more people read the bible
  • 00:41:26.467 --> 00:41:28.636
  • Than any other book?
  • 00:41:28.636 --> 00:41:30.671
  • Without question, it is the most important book in the world.
  • 00:41:30.671 --> 00:41:35.809
  • And this is the conviction not just of christian believers
  • 00:41:35.809 --> 00:41:39.680
  • But also of thoughtful political statesmen, royalty,
  • 00:41:39.680 --> 00:41:43.484
  • And renowned intellectuals.
  • 00:41:43.484 --> 00:41:46.253
  • For instance, winston churchill called the bible a masterpiece.
  • 00:41:46.253 --> 00:41:50.658
  • Writers as diverse as milton, and swift, and scott
  • 00:41:50.658 --> 00:41:55.062
  • Have borrowed liberally from its pages.
  • 00:41:55.062 --> 00:41:57.665
  • In fact, if you were to delete every biblical reference
  • 00:41:57.665 --> 00:42:00.901
  • From the great art and literature of the world,
  • 00:42:00.901 --> 00:42:03.904
  • Our galleries and our libraries would shrink in half.
  • 00:42:03.904 --> 00:42:08.309
  • Artists and poets and writers and sculptors and musicians
  • 00:42:08.309 --> 00:42:13.113
  • Have filled the world with their works based on biblical themes.
  • 00:42:13.113 --> 00:42:17.618
  • No book in the world or the history
  • 00:42:17.618 --> 00:42:20.688
  • Of the world has inspired more creativity than the bible.
  • 00:42:20.688 --> 00:42:26.260
  • The bible was written over a span of 1500 years
  • 00:42:26.260 --> 00:42:29.029
  • By more than 40 human authors from all walks of life.
  • 00:42:29.029 --> 00:42:32.466
  • They were kings and farmers, historians and fishermen,
  • 00:42:32.466 --> 00:42:35.469
  • Prophets and apostles.
  • 00:42:35.469 --> 00:42:37.938
  • It was written in three languages:
  • 00:42:37.938 --> 00:42:40.140
  • Hebrew, aramaic, and greek,
  • 00:42:40.140 --> 00:42:42.209
  • And in four geopolitical regions: the middle east,
  • 00:42:42.209 --> 00:42:45.813
  • Mesopotamia, asia minor, and southern europe.
  • 00:42:45.813 --> 00:42:49.016
  • Now the spirit of god moved the writers of scripture
  • 00:42:50.818 --> 00:42:53.988
  • As they wrote so that the words that they recorded
  • 00:42:53.988 --> 00:42:56.857
  • Were nothing less than the very words of god.
  • 00:42:56.857 --> 00:43:00.027
  • Yet, at the same time, the authors' own styles
  • 00:43:00.027 --> 00:43:03.163
  • And personalities are evident in their writings.
  • 00:43:03.163 --> 00:43:06.734
  • The first translation of the english bible
  • 00:43:06.734 --> 00:43:09.269
  • Made it into the language of english was done
  • 00:43:09.269 --> 00:43:11.805
  • By john wycliffe in 1382 ad.
  • 00:43:11.805 --> 00:43:15.609
  • It was first printed in 1454 ad by johannes gutenberg
  • 00:43:15.609 --> 00:43:20.881
  • Who invented the type mold for the printing press.
  • 00:43:20.881 --> 00:43:24.885
  • Did you know that the bible was the first book ever printed?
  • 00:43:24.885 --> 00:43:28.822
  • And history shows that the development of european culture
  • 00:43:30.124 --> 00:43:33.360
  • And from there all of western civilization
  • 00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:36.063
  • Is based upon the bible.
  • 00:43:36.063 --> 00:43:38.766
  • The ten commandments are the cornerstone of jurisprudence;
  • 00:43:38.766 --> 00:43:42.102
  • And the sermon on the mount, the foundation of morality
  • 00:43:42.102 --> 00:43:44.471
  • And ethics around the world.
  • 00:43:44.471 --> 00:43:46.674
  • And today, the english bible is everywhere.
  • 00:43:47.641 --> 00:43:50.911
  • If you have ever made light of something,
  • 00:43:50.911 --> 00:43:54.081
  • Or shown the patience of job,
  • 00:43:54.081 --> 00:43:57.017
  • Or noticed the signs of the times,
  • 00:43:57.017 --> 00:44:00.554
  • Or called someone the salt of the earth,
  • 00:44:00.554 --> 00:44:03.123
  • Or full of good works, if you have ever resolved
  • 00:44:03.123 --> 00:44:05.559
  • To fight the good fight, been where two or three
  • 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.595
  • Are gathered together, found that the spirit is willing
  • 00:44:08.595 --> 00:44:10.898
  • But the flesh is weak, and in spite of the powers
  • 00:44:10.898 --> 00:44:14.201
  • That be decided to eat, drink, and be merry,
  • 00:44:14.201 --> 00:44:17.171
  • Or have been saved by the skin of your teeth,
  • 00:44:17.171 --> 00:44:19.773
  • Then you've quoted the english bible in phrases
  • 00:44:19.773 --> 00:44:22.710
  • Etched into our daily language forever and for over 400 years.
  • 00:44:22.710 --> 00:44:28.482
  • Billy graham said of the scripture that,
  • 00:44:28.482 --> 00:44:31.018
  • "no other book can touch its profound wisdom,
  • 00:44:31.018 --> 00:44:33.687
  • Its poetic beauty,
  • 00:44:33.687 --> 00:44:35.122
  • Or the accuracy of its history and prophecy.
  • 00:44:35.122 --> 00:44:38.292
  • The bible embodies all of the knowledge man needs
  • 00:44:38.292 --> 00:44:41.995
  • To fill the longing of his soul and solve all of his problems,"
  • 00:44:41.995 --> 00:44:46.066
  • Said graham.
  • 00:44:46.066 --> 00:44:47.735
  • "i wanna be saturated with the bible.
  • 00:44:47.735 --> 00:44:49.536
  • I wanna know it by heart before i die."
  • 00:44:49.536 --> 00:44:53.107
  • And even scientist richard dawkins,
  • 00:44:53.107 --> 00:44:55.542
  • Famous for his militant atheism, confessed to a lifelong love
  • 00:44:55.542 --> 00:45:00.614
  • For the king james translation, would you believe?
  • 00:45:00.614 --> 00:45:03.784
  • And he called it a, "precious heritage."
  • 00:45:03.784 --> 00:45:06.487
  • And fellow atheist, christopher hitchens,
  • 00:45:06.487 --> 00:45:08.555
  • Admires its crystalline prose.
  • 00:45:08.555 --> 00:45:12.860
  • Do you know the incredible word of god, men and women,
  • 00:45:12.860 --> 00:45:15.062
  • For believers has had such great value and that value
  • 00:45:15.062 --> 00:45:18.999
  • Is evident in their willingness to sacrifice their very lives
  • 00:45:18.999 --> 00:45:22.569
  • For possessing it.
  • 00:45:22.569 --> 00:45:24.371
  • If you look back over history you will see this clearly.
  • 00:45:24.371 --> 00:45:26.607
  • In the great persecution of the church in ad303,
  • 00:45:26.607 --> 00:45:29.977
  • The roman emperor diocletian was determined
  • 00:45:29.977 --> 00:45:32.746
  • To destroy the scriptures.
  • 00:45:32.746 --> 00:45:35.215
  • His comment was that any copy of the bible that was found
  • 00:45:35.215 --> 00:45:37.885
  • Was burned and thousands of believers and their families
  • 00:45:37.885 --> 00:45:41.355
  • Were martyred because they would not throw away
  • 00:45:41.355 --> 00:45:44.224
  • Their copies of the bible.
  • 00:45:44.224 --> 00:45:46.794
  • This killing and destruction of the scriptures went on
  • 00:45:46.794 --> 00:45:49.129
  • For two years, after which a victory column
  • 00:45:49.129 --> 00:45:52.499
  • Was erected over the ashes of a bible with these words
  • 00:45:52.499 --> 00:45:55.469
  • That indicated that the bible was now extinct.
  • 00:45:55.469 --> 00:46:00.407
  • But 20 years later, the emperor constantine
  • 00:46:00.407 --> 00:46:02.709
  • Proclaimed the bible the infallible judge
  • 00:46:02.709 --> 00:46:04.778
  • Of all truth and it came back to life.
  • 00:46:04.778 --> 00:46:08.482
  • French humanist, voltaire, who lived between
  • 00:46:08.482 --> 00:46:10.717
  • 1694 and 1778, boastfully proclaimed, quote,
  • 00:46:10.717 --> 00:46:15.823
  • "fifty years from now the world will hear no more of the bible."
  • 00:46:15.823 --> 00:46:21.161
  • Yet in the year of his boast, the british museum purchased
  • 00:46:21.161 --> 00:46:24.231
  • A manuscript of the greek new testament
  • 00:46:24.231 --> 00:46:26.266
  • From the russian government for $500,000
  • 00:46:26.266 --> 00:46:29.136
  • While a first edition of voltaire's book was selling
  • 00:46:29.136 --> 00:46:31.605
  • For 8 cents a copy.
  • 00:46:31.605 --> 00:46:33.140
  • And 50 years after the death of voltaire, listen to this,
  • 00:46:35.776 --> 00:46:38.779
  • Bibles were being printed by the geneva bible society
  • 00:46:38.779 --> 00:46:42.716
  • In the very house where voltaire had lived
  • 00:46:42.716 --> 00:46:45.319
  • And on his very own printing presses.
  • 00:46:45.319 --> 00:46:49.923
  • Don't you think god has a sense of humor?
  • 00:46:49.923 --> 00:46:52.125
  • The french protestants known as the huguenots pictured it
  • 00:46:54.828 --> 00:46:57.764
  • As an anvil surrounded by three blacksmiths
  • 00:46:57.764 --> 00:47:01.602
  • And beneath the picture they inscribed this little poem:
  • 00:47:01.602 --> 00:47:05.105
  • "the more they pound and the more they shout,
  • 00:47:05.105 --> 00:47:07.941
  • The more they wear their hammers out."
  • 00:47:07.941 --> 00:47:11.378
  • A thousand times over, men and women,
  • 00:47:11.378 --> 00:47:13.614
  • The death knell of the bible has been sounded,
  • 00:47:13.614 --> 00:47:16.283
  • The funeral procession has been formed,
  • 00:47:16.283 --> 00:47:18.452
  • The inscriptions have been cut on the tombstone,
  • 00:47:18.452 --> 00:47:21.288
  • And the committal has read.
  • 00:47:21.288 --> 00:47:23.690
  • Somehow, the corpse never stays put.
  • 00:47:23.690 --> 00:47:27.194
  • And so today, we look back on history and all the critics
  • 00:47:27.194 --> 00:47:30.163
  • And we realize that in a strange way,
  • 00:47:30.163 --> 00:47:33.967
  • Moses has outlived voltaire, isaiah has outlasted ingersoll,
  • 00:47:33.967 --> 00:47:39.773
  • The apostles have outsmarted the agnostics,
  • 00:47:39.773 --> 00:47:42.843
  • And the prophets have overpowered the professors.
  • 00:47:42.843 --> 00:47:46.046
  • And the bible still stands as god's wonderful message to man.
  • 00:47:46.046 --> 00:47:50.717
  • [audience applauding]
  • 00:47:50.784 --> 00:47:58.125
  • As long as i can remember, the bible's been a major part
  • 00:47:58.125 --> 00:48:00.961
  • Of my life.
  • 00:48:00.961 --> 00:48:02.629
  • I grew up in the home of a baptist preacher and
  • 00:48:02.696 --> 00:48:05.933
  • Like some other people i have heard, i had a drug problem.
  • 00:48:05.933 --> 00:48:10.704
  • I was drug to church every time the doors were open.
  • 00:48:10.704 --> 00:48:16.276
  • I started memorizing the bible as a child when i was a part
  • 00:48:16.276 --> 00:48:19.913
  • Of an organization called the bible memory association.
  • 00:48:19.913 --> 00:48:23.917
  • I'm not sure what my motivation was at the time.
  • 00:48:23.917 --> 00:48:26.219
  • I was probably competing to win some sort of prize.
  • 00:48:26.219 --> 00:48:29.856
  • But i can tell you that i still today,
  • 00:48:29.856 --> 00:48:32.426
  • After all these many years, remember verses that i memorized
  • 00:48:32.426 --> 00:48:37.030
  • When i was a little kid.
  • 00:48:37.030 --> 00:48:39.333
  • My first meaningful relationship with the bible came
  • 00:48:39.333 --> 00:48:41.735
  • When i was in the 6th grade.
  • 00:48:41.735 --> 00:48:44.171
  • Believe it or not, back then when i was in the 6th grade,
  • 00:48:44.171 --> 00:48:48.175
  • The gideons were allowed to distribute copies
  • 00:48:48.175 --> 00:48:50.744
  • Of the new testament to students in the 6th grade
  • 00:48:50.744 --> 00:48:53.847
  • Of the public schools.
  • 00:48:53.847 --> 00:48:55.215
  • And i remember getting a little copy of a gideon new testament
  • 00:48:57.017 --> 00:49:00.053
  • And beginning to read it on my own.
  • 00:49:00.053 --> 00:49:03.123
  • A little bit later on, my parents gave me
  • 00:49:03.123 --> 00:49:05.926
  • A scofield reference bible and all of you are groaning
  • 00:49:05.926 --> 00:49:09.963
  • 'cause you all had one of those, growing up.
  • 00:49:09.963 --> 00:49:12.666
  • As far as i know, that's the first bible
  • 00:49:12.666 --> 00:49:14.968
  • With any kind of notes in it that i had ever seen
  • 00:49:14.968 --> 00:49:17.471
  • And i had a gray one that i still have in my office.
  • 00:49:17.471 --> 00:49:20.540
  • It's kind of worn out and the binding is coming apart
  • 00:49:20.540 --> 00:49:24.344
  • But i remember often reading from that bible and wondering
  • 00:49:24.344 --> 00:49:27.814
  • What something meant and trying to find out if mr. scofield
  • 00:49:27.814 --> 00:49:30.817
  • Had anything to say about it down at the bottom.
  • 00:49:30.817 --> 00:49:34.287
  • During the final two years of my college experience
  • 00:49:34.287 --> 00:49:37.124
  • At cedarville college in ohio, i took several bible courses
  • 00:49:37.124 --> 00:49:41.294
  • And i began to seriously contemplate
  • 00:49:41.294 --> 00:49:43.463
  • Becoming a gospel minister.
  • 00:49:43.463 --> 00:49:46.199
  • When i graduated from cedarville,
  • 00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:47.701
  • I enrolled at dallas seminary and began the scholarly study
  • 00:49:47.701 --> 00:49:51.471
  • Of the bible.
  • 00:49:51.471 --> 00:49:53.607
  • I have only pastored two churches
  • 00:49:53.607 --> 00:49:55.609
  • In my 40-some years as a minister.
  • 00:49:55.609 --> 00:49:58.845
  • Donna and i started the blackhawk baptist church
  • 00:49:58.845 --> 00:50:01.081
  • In fort wayne, indiana, in 1969 and pastored that church
  • 00:50:01.081 --> 00:50:06.319
  • Until 1981 when we moved to san diego to lead what is
  • 00:50:06.319 --> 00:50:10.023
  • Now called the shadow mountain community church.
  • 00:50:10.023 --> 00:50:12.893
  • When we built our worship center back in 1990 we had a beautiful
  • 00:50:12.893 --> 00:50:16.196
  • Stained glass window created at the very front of the building.
  • 00:50:16.196 --> 00:50:21.168
  • The words in that window give testimony to the priority
  • 00:50:21.168 --> 00:50:24.004
  • We place upon god's book, the bible.
  • 00:50:24.004 --> 00:50:27.707
  • Those words are from psalm 119, verse 130:
  • 00:50:27.707 --> 00:50:31.611
  • "the entrance of your words give light."
  • 00:50:31.611 --> 00:50:36.249
  • When people ask me what i do, i often answer by saying,
  • 00:50:36.249 --> 00:50:41.421
  • "well, i read the bible and i study the bible and i preach
  • 00:50:41.421 --> 00:50:44.591
  • The bible and i put the bible on the radio
  • 00:50:44.591 --> 00:50:47.360
  • And i put the bible on television.
  • 00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:49.596
  • And i write books about the bible and articles
  • 00:50:49.596 --> 00:50:51.398
  • And study guides about the bible.
  • 00:50:51.398 --> 00:50:53.567
  • And put the bible on the internet."
  • 00:50:53.567 --> 00:51:00.073
  • That's what i believe god has called me to do,
  • 00:51:00.073 --> 00:51:02.409
  • That's what i wanna do, and frankly,
  • 00:51:02.409 --> 00:51:03.944
  • That's all i know how to do.
  • 00:51:03.944 --> 00:51:05.679
  • [audience applauding]
  • 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:10.183
  • You see, men and women, i believe that the bible is
  • 00:51:10.183 --> 00:51:13.453
  • The only god-inspired book ever written.
  • 00:51:13.453 --> 00:51:16.823
  • It is definitive and authoritative,
  • 00:51:16.823 --> 00:51:19.426
  • And i have great confidence that as long as i am faithful
  • 00:51:19.426 --> 00:51:22.662
  • To the text, honoring it as it is,
  • 00:51:22.662 --> 00:51:26.399
  • God's word and not taking the text out of context,
  • 00:51:26.399 --> 00:51:29.669
  • Which as you know becomes a pretext, as long as
  • 00:51:29.669 --> 00:51:33.440
  • I'm faithful to the context, you say, "what does that mean?"
  • 00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:35.909
  • Well, maybe you've known someone in your life who uses the bible
  • 00:51:35.909 --> 00:51:38.645
  • In a random way to get answers from god.
  • 00:51:38.645 --> 00:51:41.648
  • And when they need an answer, they just open the bible
  • 00:51:41.648 --> 00:51:44.251
  • And put their finger on a verse and they read it.
  • 00:51:44.251 --> 00:51:47.420
  • And i read about a young man who was doing that one day,
  • 00:51:47.420 --> 00:51:50.090
  • Trying to find out god's will for his life.
  • 00:51:50.090 --> 00:51:52.459
  • He opened the bible, put his finger on the scripture
  • 00:51:52.459 --> 00:51:55.795
  • And it said, "and then judas went out and hung himself."
  • 00:51:55.795 --> 00:52:02.836
  • And he knew that couldn't be right so he flipped it over
  • 00:52:02.836 --> 00:52:04.971
  • To some other pages and stuck his finger down again and,
  • 00:52:04.971 --> 00:52:07.040
  • Lo and behold, what he came upon was another verse that said,
  • 00:52:07.040 --> 00:52:10.410
  • "go thou and do likewise."
  • 00:52:10.410 --> 00:52:13.647
  • "oh no, that can't be proper. give it one more shot."
  • 00:52:13.647 --> 00:52:17.117
  • So he opened it again, put his finger down
  • 00:52:17.117 --> 00:52:19.119
  • On a scripture and here's what came out:
  • 00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:20.854
  • "whatsoever thou doest, do quickly."
  • 00:52:20.854 --> 00:52:23.390
  • You know, if you study the bible that way you can make it
  • 00:52:25.892 --> 00:52:28.094
  • Say anything you want it to say.
  • 00:52:28.094 --> 00:52:31.164
  • But if you study the bible to understand what it meant
  • 00:52:31.164 --> 00:52:33.700
  • When it was written to the people who read it first,
  • 00:52:33.700 --> 00:52:37.037
  • You will understand about the bible some incredible truth.
  • 00:52:37.037 --> 00:52:41.641
  • Here is god's promise for those who will honor his word,
  • 00:52:41.641 --> 00:52:45.979
  • From the words of isaiah the prophet:
  • 00:52:45.979 --> 00:52:48.415
  • "so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
  • 00:52:48.415 --> 00:52:52.219
  • It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish
  • 00:52:52.219 --> 00:52:56.356
  • What i please, and it shall prosper
  • 00:52:56.356 --> 00:52:59.059
  • In the thing for which i sent it."
  • 00:52:59.059 --> 00:53:02.495
  • Tonight we are celebrating the completion and publication
  • 00:53:02.495 --> 00:53:07.300
  • Of the jeremiah study bible.
  • 00:53:07.300 --> 00:53:09.903
  • This is the culmination of a lifetime of studying

  • And teaching the word of god.
  • 00:53:12.906 --> 00:53:15.342

  • And it is my prayer that the study bible introduced
  • 00:53:25.352 --> 00:53:28.021
  • On this night will encourage you to make the study of god's word

  • A priority in your life.
  • 00:53:31.925 --> 00:53:34.694
  • It will always be the most influential book in the world
  • 00:53:34.694 --> 00:53:37.998
  • Because its message originated with god and it resolves
  • 00:53:37.998 --> 00:53:42.235

  • 00:53:42.235 --> 00:53:47.340

  • 00:53:47.340 --> 00:53:51.077
  • So may the words of this book, the bible, fill your memory,
  • 00:53:51.077 --> 00:53:54.948
