Many years ago, a dear preacher brother quoted this verse from the book of Matthew to me. Then, he asked, “Brother King, do we have every word of God?” His question caught me flat-footed, but I replied, “Of course we do!”
Matthew 4:4 (KJV) But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
After years of searching, reading and questioning, I came to the same conclusion as Dean Burgon. I realize that Brother Burgon had and still has his critics, nevertheless, I stand where he stood, God help me!
“Either the whole Bible is inspired, the Words as well as the sentences, the syllables as well as the Words, the letters as well as the syllables, every ‘jot’ and every ‘tittle’ of it, or the whole of it must be abandoned, since no part of it can be certainly depended upon as an infallible guide.”

Challenge to Us Today.
Dean Burgon’s work was left unfinished. There is still a task that lies ahead of us today. We must pick up the banner of Divine Truth and resolutely plant ourselves in the doorway of the Faith. We must stand, as he did, for the Authorized King James Bible and its underlying Hebrew and Greek words.
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
