First, we must appreciate the “power” of God’s Word…..

• It possesses the power of CREATION – ((Hebrews 11:3)
• It possesses the power of SANCTIFICATION – (John 17:17)
• It possesses the power of PRESERVATION – (Acts 20:28-32)
• t possesses the power of SALVATION and CONDEMNATION – (James 1:21) (John 12:48)
• Should this not motivate us to learn the Word of God?
• Would it not be foolish to neglect such power in our lives?

Second, we must feed on God's word like newborn babies longing for their mothers' milk. We need to long for the word

(Psalm 78:4)…..We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

This is our commission too. We are to tell the generations to come the praises of the Lord, to tell them of His stregnth and the wonderful works He has done, and that we might give testimony that God’s word is good (Psalm 19:7). The generations to come must hear the praises of our God from our own lips. …

(Psalm 107:1)…..“OH, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”

This Psalm is wholly devoted to the praise of God’s mercy. In each of the twenty-six verses of (Psalm 107), we have the expression: “His mercy endures forever.” The Psalmist was full of this glad thought. Our hearts too should be filled with the blessed assurance. The everlasting, unchangeable mercy of God is cause for unceasing praise and thanksgiving. Let us read what is said about God’s mercy in the well known Psalm, (Psalm 103)…

The apostle Paul had such a glorious vision of eternity and heaven that he was in great turmoil over a desire to depart and be with Christ or to remain in the flesh. He realized that there was nothing in this life that offered any comparison to what eternity offered.

(Philippians 1:23-24)…..For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

(2 Corinthians 5:1-2)…..For we know that if our earthly …

(Philippians 4:13)…..I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We can take those words to the bank! I mean, those words are absolute and true. God often makes statements in the Bible that go against what we feel like, or what it looks like to us at the time. Never the less they are true. God is trying to move us to a higher plane of faith where we depend on Him and not on what we feel like. Others try to evade the issue by saying that a …

Did you know that the Bible tells you to imitate God? It surely does! We can read in (Ephesians 5:1-2)…..Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, 2 just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

No doubt you have seen a child imitating their parent, their favorite super hero, or actor. Sometimes those being imitated are pleased, but sometimes embarrassed. Just as earthly children imitate their parents, super hero, or favorite actor, …

The Word of God (Scriptures) have to be a serious part of the Christians life. So much so that we should know what it says (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Christian needs to study it, taste it, digest it, learn it so that you never have opportunity for shame when you handle it. The Bible is our standard for testing everything else that claims to be true (Galatians 1:6-9) (1 Timothy 4:1-5), so it is vital that we know what is in it. God wants to show you what is …

The Word of God has certain characteristics. It is perfect, right, pure and righteous  (Psalm 19:7-8). You would be surprised how many people do not believe that about God’s Word. Yet it is trustworthy (Psalm 111:7-8). It is true (Psalm 119:142, 151, 160) (John 17:17). It is inspired (2 Peter 1:21).

The Word of God has an effect on us because it is living and active  (Hebrews 4:12). It is not just a bunch of words that God threw on paper. It is not just a …

Do you want to know God? Get acquainted with Jesus through the pages of the Bible. (John 12:44-45)…..Jesus said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. “And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. (John 14:7-10)….”If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known …
