Lexis is a company that believes in the importance of setting a standard, which I can appreciate as someone who holds themselves to lofty, if not ridiculous, standards, especially with the car I drive. The standard Lex has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexis measures success by the feeling and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy.
Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in a feeling in drivers that their car was built in anticipation. of them. Machines that make you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing.

If you want to know about the history of America, It's imperative that you know the role that the Bible played. in shaping our country. our founding fathers, both Christian and non-Christian alike. were heavily influenced. by the Bible.
Here to share another story is Robert Morgan. was the author of 100 Bible verses that made America. defining moments that shaped our enduring foundation of faith. Let's take a listen. I want to introduce you to one of America's early heroes, a man who has left a lasting impression on our history books.
although many of the newer ones neglect his story. John Elliott. was born in England in the very early years of the 1600s. He was a teenager when he heard about the Pilgrims coming to America and about the Puritans establishing the city of Boston. John Eliot attended Cambridge University in England.
and he made a decision to follow Jesus Christ as his Savior. under the ministry of a local pastor named Thomas Hooker. Because of the pressure on Puritans by the English government, John Eliot joined those who emigrated to Boston, and shortly after arriving, he was hired to be the pastor of a church in nearby Roxbury. That was in the year sixteen thirty two, and John was in his twenties. He kept that job for 57 years.
Imagine serving as the pastor of the same church for nearly six decades. But that's not all. that Elliot did. When he was 42 years old, he grew burdened for the nearby communities of Native Americans, and he began studying Algonquin. It was a daunting task, especially because of the length of their words.
for example, in the Algonquin dialect. The phrase our lusts was was expressed by a word that I can't even pronounce. but I can spell it to you. N U M M A T C H E K O D T A N T A M O O N G A N U N N O N A S H. Imagine trying to find a way of expressing the simple words of the Bible in a language in which the words are so long.
Well, Elliot faced those linguistic challenges and he persevered until he could speak the language himself well enough to preach with the help sometimes of an interpreter. Eliot later wrote of his first attempt at preaching to these people. He said, I then preached Jesus Christ unto them. as the only means of recovery from sin and wrath and eternal death. I explained to them who Christ was and whither he was gone.
and how he will one day come again to judge the world. I speak to them of the blessed state of those who believe in Christ. and know him feelingly.
Well, in just a short time, a number of Native Americans confessed Christ as Savior. These converts established their own village and named it by an Algonquin word that meant in English rejoicing. It was the town of rejoicing. For that's what they were doing. As time went by, other villages arose, and Eliot traveled up and down the coast all the time maintaining his primary ministry.
as a pastor in Roxbury. It was very hard. rigorous work. In a letter dated December 29th, Imagine how cold. in New England.
The year was sixteen forty nine, he wrote I was not dry. day or night, from the third day of the week to the sixth. But I traveled. And at night I pulled off my boots, wrung out my stockings, and on with them again, and I continued. And yet God stepped in and helped me.
He said, I considered this verse, 2 Timothy 2.3. that we should endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Mm Well, Algonquin and Native American churches were planted. At Mantic, Plymouth, California. Tape cod.
Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard. Elliot lived to see fourteen praying villages, as he called them. And each one had between 2,500 and 4,000 inhabitants. And there were 24 Native American preachers by the time he died, all the while he was serving his church at Roxbury. Plus he founded a school.
The Roxbury Latin School. Which still is going today, it is the oldest school in continuous existence in North America. John Eliot's most prodigious feat was the production of the first Bible published in America. The New Testament came out in 1661 and the Old Testament three years later. It was an Algonquin.
It's hard to imagine how Eliot accomplished such a thing, reducing a near-impossible language to writing. training Native Americans to read, and then translating the entire Bible for them. One historian said that it was a work which excited the wonder and admiration of both hemispheres and has rendered his name ever memorable in the annals of literature and piety. When he was in his 80s, Elliott grew too weak to preach at his church in Loxbury, and he asked the church to finally seek another pastor. He said, I wonder for what the Lord Jesus continues to let me live.
He knows that now I can do nothing for him. As he sought for some final work to do for Christ, he heard about a youth who had fallen into the fire and had been blinded. Eliot invited the church to live with him. and he devoted the latter years of his life to helping this young person memorize full chapters of the scripture. and he taught him how to pray.
Elliot himself was a man of deep prayer. When confronted with distressing news, he would always say, Brethren. Let us turn this all into prayer. On May the twenty first, sixteen ninety, in his 86th year. after a remarkably productive life.
And his last words were, Welcome, Joy. Pray. Praying. Pray. And a terrific job by the production, editing, and storytelling by our own Greg Kengler.
And a special thanks to Robert Morgan. He's the author of 100 Bible Verses that made America. And what a story. Imagine this. You're John Elliott.
You graduate from Cambridge. And then what do you do? You give that all up. and you come to America to the wilderness. And then he gets the idea to translate the first Bible in America into Algonquin.
