    H. The Middle of the Bible is Psalm 118:8
    “The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of
    man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and
    happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its
    precepts are binding, its histories are true and its
    decisions are immutable.
    Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe and practice it
    to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to
    support you and comfort to cheer you. It is the
    traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass,
    the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter.
    Here paradise is restored, heaven opened and the
    gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our
    good its design and the glory of God its end. It should
    fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet.
    Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully, it is a mine
    of wealth, a paradise of glory & a river of pleasure. It
    is given to you in life, will be open at the judgment
    and remembered forever. It involves the highest
    responsibility, rewards the greatest labor and
    condemns all who rifle with its holy contents.”
