THE whole nation observed the National Bible Week from January 23-29, 2006. This event was provided for  by Presidential Proclamation Nos. 44 and 1067 which emphasize the importance of the Holy Scriptures in the life of a nation. This year’s celebration had for its theme, “God’s Word: Power for National Renewal.”
The Bible Week reminded every Filipino to read the Scriptures every day as this is the key towards national renewal. God’s Word has power to transform an individual and the whole nation. Individuals who feed on the Word of God daily make up strong families, and families rooted in the Word can influence a community, and communities that are transformed make up a renewed nation.
“We can not ignore the sad state of our country as we are faced with alarming issues that create factions in our leadership and divide us a people.
Majority of our people suffers because of unstable economy matched with undeterred corruption in government. The need for individual and national renewal can not be denied,” according to Philippine Bible Society General Secretary Mrs. Nora Lucero.
