Why HideGodsWord.com Part 1
Some of my members may be wondering why I created HideGodsWord.com. It all started 15 years ago, I was a freshman in high school, and was assigned to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this futuristic science fiction book we learn of a society where creative thought is no longer considered acceptable. Books and reading are outlawed and firemen go around burning down the houses of citizens who have hidden books in their homes. Eventually the main character Guy Montag, a firemen himself, starts hiding books in his own house. After being turned in for hiding books he flees the authorities and joins a secret society of outlaws who have hidden famous works of literature in their minds. During his escape he manages to memorize part of the Bible with the hope to one day rewrite it. Fahrenheit 451 is a powerful predictive book of what America could look like if the minds of its citizens continue to be dulled by television and media.
The ideas in the book led to the creation of HideGodsWord.com, Gods Word is so important that we must keep it hidden in our hearts just like Guy Montag. I constructed this website to inspire and motivate the global community of believers in Jesus Christ to take it upon themselves to memorize the Bible. I know that together we can memorize the entire bible.
