Our State Book, or a Book for the State We’re In…

Proposed language: Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3, is amended by adding the following language as a new section: The Holy Bible is hereby designated as the official state book : Passed House : Passed Senate : Vetoed by Governor. “This bill trivializes the Bible, which I believe is a sacred text.” Also questions about its constitutionality…

State Flag… State Songs – 9 different songs State tree – Tulip Poplar State rock – Limestone State poem – “Oh Tennessee, My Tennessee” State slogan – “Tennessee—America at Its Best” State wild flowers – Passion flower and TN Echinacea State cultivated flower – Iris State insects – Firefly, Ladybug, and Honeybee State gem – Tennessee Pearl State folk dance – Square dance

State seal… State theatre – Tennessee Theatre State game bird – Bobwhite Quail State butterfly – Zebra Swallowtail State reptile – Eastern Box Turtle State sport fish – Small-Mouth Bass State commercial fish – Channel Catfish State motto – “Agriculture and Commerce” State amphibian – Tennessee Cave Salamander State horse – Tennessee Walking Horse State beverage - Milk

State fruit – Tomato State bird – Mockingbird State wild animal - Raccoon State artifact – Sandstone statue “Sandy” State evergreen tree – Eastern Red Cedar State rifle – Barrett Model M82/M107 State pets – Dogs & cats adopted from TN animal shelters… Porcelain painting is recognized as a fine art. Others: tartan, mineral, aviation hall of fame, railroad museum, railroad library, botanical garden, fife & drum corps

2 Tim. 3:14-16 Requires study Make us wise for salvation through our faith Inspired by God Profitable (regardless of its “official” status) for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness Completes man, thoroughly equipping us for every good work Jn. 17:14-16 – God’s word yields hate from the world. Jn. 17:17 – God’s word is Truth. Rom. 15:4 – Produces hope

We are subject to governing authorities – Rom. 13:1.; 1 Pet. 2: Govt. is a terror to evil because anarchy would allow evil to operate without consequences – Rom. 13:3. However, if federal/state/local laws ever conflict with God’s laws, we must choose. Acts 4:19-20; 5: God does not need a government’s “help” for anything – Acts. 17:25.

Negligible! Bible’s authority & power is not diminished at all by not being named Tennessee’s state book. Bible does not need to be Tennessee’s state book in order for us to obey God’s instructions and preach to others. Bible does not need rubber stamp from any earthly government. Dan. 2:44, 7:14; Jn. 18:35-37 Don’t be upset – Jn. 14:27-28 We still enjoy the freedom in this country to worship God as He commanded
