"why, you took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother's milk! There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another--showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us." (2 Timothy 3:15-17 MSG)

The B-I-B-L-E, thats the book for me

The visible image of the Invisible Living Word

================&&&&&====================

To some, a talisman

To others, a revelation of His power

To some, a book of stories

To others, a testimony of His faithfulness

To some, a collection of suggestions

To others, a manual for living

To some, a record of the law

To others, a revelation of his grace

To some, a source of condemnation

To others, the truth that sets them free

To some, a ministration of death

To others a ministration of life

================&&&&&====================

Some open it and see letters

Others open it and see the words come alive

Some store it in their head

Others store it in their heart

Some approach it with doubt and do without

Others approach it in faith and profit from it inexhaustible riches

Some approach it with the wisdom of men and stumble at its mysteries

Others approach through God's spirit and unlock the eternal mysteries

================&&&&&====================

Love is the foundation of His true revelation

Humility the key to being teachable

The Holy Spirit is the teacher

Revealing all that has been freely given

As I put my faith in the words He reveals to me

He reveals the Living Word through me
