  Speaker 1: There's a story told of a missionary in Africa. He
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: preached the gospel to this village. It was the first
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: time they heard the gospel. So on his way out leaving,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: he left a Bible. He gave one Bible to the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: most attentive villager that was there. He gave him the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Bible and he told him, listen, I'm going to give
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you this. I want you to keep it. And I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: want you to take care of this until I come back. Well,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the missionary leaves. And when he comes back, he asked
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for the villager and he comes forward. He brings the Bible,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: but the Bible is all tattered and torn. Pages are missing.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And the missionary, he gets all upset. He said, listen,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: how could you do the Bible like this? I left
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you the Bible. I trusted you. And look what you've
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: done to the Bible. You have not respected it. You've
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: not taken care of it. And then the villager said, oh, no, no, no. Yes,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I have. I've taken care of it. He said, but look,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: pages are missing. What happened? He says, oh, this was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the only Bible in the village. And when I came
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: across people Who needed the word. I tore that page out.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Somebody needed healing. So I went to Isaiah and I.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Tore that page out. Somebody needed some comfort. So I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: went to Psalms 23 and I. Tore that page out.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And he went all down the line. And then the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: missionary said okay wait a minute. What are you going
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to do. When you need. The scriptures that you gave
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to somebody else. Since this is the only Bible and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you've torn it all apart. I can understand that. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what you going to do when you need it? He said,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: oh no, I'm not worried. I'm not worried at all.
• 2:03
