Hello Friends!
One of the focuses of my blog will be on the word of God. I believe that Christians everywhere desperately need to fall back in love with the word of God. We should need the Bible as much as we need food. I know that if I do not eat--I get hungry and I look to QUICKLY satisfy that hunger. I have found the same thing to be true in regard to spiritual food. I need the word of God continually throughout the day. The word of God is incredible. I am so excited to open and discuss this inerrant book with you in this virtual world.
In the word of God, we have the mind of God. I am reminded of the phrase from the hymn, "How Firm a Foundation"..."what more can he say than to you he has said!"
God has given us his very word which is a gift from God. The written word corresponds to the living Word who is Jesus Christ himself, the Truth incarnate. We are privileged to receive, open, and cherish this gift. God, who is condescending, gentle, meek, lowly of heart, so wants his word to be received, that he has allowed the word to be abused, neglected, and exploited in order that we might have the truth. Charles Spurgeon once said, “defending the Bible is like defending a lion.”
Just as Jesus did his saving work in the vulnerable condition of becoming a baby and humbly self-sacrificing on the cross, so it is this delicate, vulnerable and exploited word of the Lord that goes forth to achieve mighty ends. I pray that this blog will encourage and strengthen you in your faith. May God richly bless you and your family!!
