Who else can clearly remember when you learned that there was a time when the Bible was chained to a pulpit and only the clergy could handle it?
The Scriptures were only in Latin, and it was against the law for the Bible to be translated into the language of the common people.
It's so easy to take it for granted that today we have free access to the Bible -- in many excellent translations. The day that you get into the Scriptures on your own will be the day your life will begin to change for the better.
