I vote for the bible
It's prophetic proof you'll see
There's none other more reliable
It's Word will set you free
 
I vote for the bible
The enemy tries to remove
But it's word holds treasures
For a mind of Christ to pursue
 
I vote for the bible
Our children need to know
It isn't Harry Potter's witchcraft
That can save their soul
 
I vote for the bible
This new age stuff is a lie
You can not take shortcuts
If you want eternal life
 
I vote for the bible
To be restored in schools
This darwin monkey mythology
Is only used as a tool to fool
 
I vote for the bible
For it's God's owner's manual
It will sustain your life
For it is a guide for survival
 
I vote for the bible
For God's army to rise up
Exalting His Word _Christ Jesus
To remove all teaching that's corrupt
 
I vote for the bible
For others will try to mislead
The only book that's reliable
Is God's incorruptable seed
 
I vote for the bible
It's sixty six books of seed
The sower sows the word
And God's love they will reap
 
I vote for the bible
To put a stop to all the violence
To see all the outcome of it's silence
It really doesn't take a mental giant
 
I vote for the bible
Nowadays the death rate is chilling
I'd much rather they pack God's word
Than guns to kill our children
 
I vote for the bible
For morals are going downhill
Corruption of radio and T.V.is subliminal
Reaping moral decline and more criminals
 
I vote for the bible
Won't you join me too
Our nation loses it values
When God's word isn't used

Since posting this I received this email
and was led to share this additional piece in remembrance of
all the lives taken at Columbine,Virginia Tech and more.
April 20 was the anniversary of this terrible tragedy.
Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday,Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, victim of Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.

They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as voice crying in wilderness. Read some of transcript below.

Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.

The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.

In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA, I am not a hunter, I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.

I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy, it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four
  nights ago that expresses my feelings best.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question 'Why?'
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!

Men and women are three part beings.
 We all consist of body,
 mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge
 a third part of our make up, we create a void
that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush
in and wreak havoc. There was Spiritual presence
within our educational systems for most of our
nation's history. Many of our major colleges began
as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact.
What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused
to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to
hatred and violence. And when something as terrible
as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians
immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA.
They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws
 that continue to erode away our personal
and private liberties. We do not need more
 restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have
 been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun
 laws can stop someone who spends months planning
this type of massacre. The real villain lies
within our own hearts.
As my son Craig lay under that table in the school
library and saw his two friends murdered before
his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school.
I defy any law or politician to deny him that right!
 I challenge every young person in America ,
and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999,
at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to
 our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by
those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new
 millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation
that violates your God given right to communicate
with Him. To those of you who would point your finger
 at the NRA I give to you a sincere challenge.
Dare to examine your own heart before casting
the first stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain!
The young people of this country will not allow
 that to happen!'
Do what the media did not, let the nation hear
this man's speech. Please send this out to everyone you can.

But you, man (or woman) of God, flee from all this,
 and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith love,
endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were
called when you made your good confession in the
presence of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6: 11-12

2Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Sharing all of Chapter 2Tim.3,you will see the
prophetic that is happening now in these scriptures.

 1.This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.

 2.For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 3.Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,

 4.Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
 more than lovers of God;

 5.Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 6.For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts,

 7.Ever learning, and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth.

 8.Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses,
so do these also resist the truth:
men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith.

 9.But they shall proceed no further:
 for their folly shall be manifest unto all men,
 as their's also was.

 10.But thou hast fully known my doctrine,
manner of life, purpose, faith,
longsuffering, charity, patience,

 11.Persecutions, afflictions,
which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
what persecutions I endured:
 but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

 12.Yea, and all that will live godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

 13.But evil men and seducers shall wax worse
and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 14.But continue thou in the things which thou hast
learned and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

 15.And that from a child thou hast known
the holy scriptures, which are able to make
 thee wise unto salvation through faith
which is in Christ Jesus.

 16.All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
 and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

 17.That the man of God may be perfect,
 thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
