"Word"

“Word”

Blessings Folk!

Here is a sad truth.

Most professing Christians know little of the Word of God.

They know “what they think”.
They know “what I’ve been taught”.
They know “denominationalism”.
They know “what I believe”.

Yet, they do not know the Word.

Worse yet, they have no desire to know the Word.

I question the salvation of such.

If one is truly save, then they will have a desire from God to know Him more completely.

To know The Word - written, Spirit, Body - is foundational to the life of the Kingdom.

John 1
 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
 2 The same was in the beginning with God...
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


This is not new…

Hosea 4
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
 7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Those of the New Covenant are exhorted…

2 Timothy 2
 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Believers are instructed to handle the Word of Truth correctly.

We are blessed.
Blessed beyond measure.

You can read this - what a blessing.
Then why are not reading the Word?

You can hear - what a blessing.
Then why not listen to the Word? - listen via computer or phone - free

You have the time - more than any society has ever had - to study the Word.
Then why are you not studying/meditating?

We would be spared many of the “problems” that we have if we would abide in the Lord - The Word.

Psalm 119
 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

Psalm 119 reveals the wonder and glory of the Word of the Lord.
You can listen to the entire Psalm in less than 17 minutes…

So, determine in your heart to abide in the Lord and His Word.

If you would like to share a study time with fellow believers, join us.
We currently have some 6-7 times of gathering.
Some are closed.
Some are open.
Some meet locally.
Some meet online via computer/smart phone or regular ole phone.

We are about to begin a new study next week.
A slightly different format. New. Just released.
We will cover the entire Bible in 30 weeks.
Three courses of 10-weeks each.
Obviously it will be an overview and will pull many things together. Happy
Email for more info.

Online versions of this course will begin the end of May, but are very limited in the number that can participate. Overseas and distant participants receive preference. Happy

Folk, we must know the Truth that the Lord has given us.
You will not get all you need in a Sunday School class…
You will not get all you need in a weekly series of sermons…
You will receive what the Lord has for you if you will immerse yourself in The Word.

(These gatherings can assist in the immersion. Happy )

People are crying for Truth.
Are you a Truth-Bearer?
Are you a Truth-Proclaimer?

Blessings!
