GOD’S POWERFUL WORD
The Bible contains about 800,000 words, depending on the translation. This is about four times as many words as are found in a book of average length. Although the Bible is so long and deals with the greatest themes that can engage the human mind, its vocabulary is singularly limited. It uses only 6,000 different words, a very small number compared to the 20,000 words that Shakespeare employed while writing his plays. Not only is the Bible’s vocabulary limited, but the average word in it contains only five letters. However, many of these short words are full of the deepest meanings and are worthy of earnest study. For example, consider these five-letter words: grace, peace, faith, saved, serve, glory and Jesus.

The American’s Creed
- I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people;
- Whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed;
- A democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states;
- A perfect union one and inseparable;
- Established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
- I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. –William Tyler Page
