From the pages of the Military Heritage Bible

Did you know …

Peter Bulkeley (1583-1659) said, “We are as a city set upon a hill, in the open view of all the earth….We profess ourselves to be a people in covenant with God, and therefore . . . the Lord our God…will cry shame upon us if we walk contrary to the covenant which we have promised to walk in. If we open the mouths of men against our profession, by reason of the scandalousness of our lives, we (of all men) shall have the greater sin.” [i]

Matthew reminds us in chapter 5 verses 14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city laid out on a mountain is not able to be hidden: and they do not light a lamp and place it under a peck measure but upon the lamp stand, and it gives light for all those in the house. Your light must now shine like this before all mankind, so that they would see your good deeds and they would glorify your Father, the One in the heavens.”

This reference is taken from the One New Man Bible which is being used for Soldiers Bible Ministry‘s new Military Heritage Bible. Why this particular translation? The One New Man Bible brings a greater understanding of and appreciation for the power given to believers for their daily walk, something our men and women in uniform need to be able to identify with. The Jewish Roots of Christianity come to life in the One New Man Bible as this translation brings out much of the power that has commonly been omitted from traditional English translations.
