29th October is Bible Sunday – a day set aside in the church calendar to celebrate the gift of God’s word. The words (in Latin) ‘Unless the Lord builds the house the builders labour in vain’ Psalm 127:1 are inlaid in the floor of the Central Lobby in the Houses of Parliament, Westminster. A reminder scripture has informed, shaped and provided the foundations for our country and its people. All over the world the Bible is being translated into peoples’ heart languages and its importance in everyone’s lives lies in the acrostic – Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
