The Associated Press just announced in February 2015 that Freshman Rep. Jerry Sexton wants to add the Holy Bible to the state symbols of Tennessee. The Holy Bible would be designed as the Official State Book.

The Bible May Soon Be Tennessee’s Official State Book

In the state of Tennessee we have a lot of official items like the State Tree is the Tulip Popular and the Official State Flower is the Iris.

Sexton, is from the Bean Station Republican Legislature. Bean Station, TN is not too far from the city I live in, Jefferson City, TN. I guess we shall see. Tennessee is after all one of the Bible Belt States. We shall soon see if it goes further. I am sure there would be some oppositions to it too. I pray and hope this would pass. Sexton’s stats show that he is a Baptist.

Even in April 2015, it got approved then overturned. Now this April 2016, it got approved … Now to wait for it to be signed into a bill.

After all God made everything including the State of Tennessee.

God is in control!

Update: It has been over a year when this first came up, February 2015 and today it just got the vote needed. This is what Franklin Graham said on Facebook …

UPDATE: Governor Bill Haslam vetoed the bill. This is very sad news! We as a Nation, including the great State of Tennessee is taking our eyes away from God.

October 31 is also Reformation Day, Martin Luther wrote The 95 Thesis on this day 500 years ago and nailed it to the Castle Church door in Wittenburg in Germany.
