During The British Coronation Ceremony

J B Phillips, perhaps the best known of Bible translators wrote of his experiences. He said its power overwhelmed him: “Translating the New Testament”, he said, “was like rewiring a house with the mains left on.” What a testimony to the use of the Bible! We must be careful how we handle the Scriptures. During the British Coronation ceremony a Bible is presented to the monarch with the words: “We present you with the Bible, the most valuable thing which this world affords. Here is wisdom. This is the Royal law. These are the lively oracles of God.” (Source Unknown)
