490 years ago today, William Tyndale was tied to the stake, strangled by the executioner, and his body burned to ashes.
His crime? Translating the Bible into English so that a plowboy could know the Scriptures just as well as a priest.
We have Bibles on our shelves, on our phones, and in our pews because men like Tyndale were willing to die for them. Don't take it for granted today. Open it, read it, and let it do its work in you.
