Title
The Manufacturer’s Handbook
Scripture
These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
(John 20:31)
Devotional
The Bible is the Manufacturer’s Handbook for mankind. It contains not only the words for eternal life, but also God’s directions for this present realm. The Bible is more than an operations manual; it determines the boundaries of maintenance, restoration, and production. This book is able to guide all, from individuals to governments, families to nations. Its guidance for business and industry has no equal. The Bible is the ultimate success book. It not only teaches you how to succeed, it defines success. It is an amazing book in that it is able to instruct the mind of a child and the genius of the most educated. The simplicity of the gospels is able to reach the most complicated minds. The whole of your life is invested in you. How foolish of us not to utilize the directions of the One who has created us. How foolish to ignore the Manufacturer’s Handbook.

Evening Study Guide
Defining: “Bible.” Think about this; the word “Bible” is not found in Webster’s 1828 dictionary of the American English language, not because it was of little or no significance, but because it needed no definition. Oh how far have we digressed in the last century or even decade.
Referencing: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit,” 2 Peter 1:20,21.
Applying: Live your life according to the revelation of God as it is found in His Word, the Bible. Read it, study it, learn it, memorize it, listen to the preaching and teaching of it, and above all apply it to every realm of your life.
