Purified Words

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver is tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.   
Ps 12:6, KJV

Does anyone remember who Kirk Douglas and Jimmy Stewart are?  I'm old enough to remember, but how about the 20 something year-olds? Or who remembers who was famous during the silent movie era or their movies' plots?

Movies get old with a little bit of time. Unlike the movies, the Bible is several thousand years old and still going strong.  It has been there for preceding generations and will be there for the future generations.  Jesus promised that his words would not pass away even though heaven and earth will. (Matt 24:35)

You can't even get rid of the Bible.  It's not because people haven't tried.  There was a king who threw the scroll that Jeremiah had written on the fire. (Jer. 36:23)  Modern countries have tried to ban, confiscate, and burn Bibles, but the purified Word of God lives on.  It still tells right from wrong and more importantly about the plan of salvation.  Even though we are but dust, we can claim everlasting life if we confess our sins, ask God for forgiveness, and believe Jesus is our salvation.
