'Thy Word is truth' (John 17:17)
'I wish those who call themselves 'Christian' would come
back to the Bible. I am often distressed when people ask me, “What do you think
about this, or what do you think about that?” I have to tell them, “It does not
make any difference what I think. My thoughts do not amount to anything. The
great question is, What has God said? What is written in the Word?”
If God’s Word does not speak on a particular subject, we have no right to attempt to speak, but where it has given a clear definite declaration, we should be positive and sure in our faith. How important it is that our thoughts are in harmony with God’s Word when we have to face the devil personally and then throughout society every single day.
Satan works through crafty deceptions, presenting all kinds
of false systems and views, and maligning the name of Christ.
It is only as our minds are controlled by the Word that we will be able to counter these false teachings. The better you know the Bible, the better fitted you are to meet the assaults of the enemy, and yet some of you have never even read your Bible through once.
Perhaps you have never got beyond the genealogies (ancestries records). You
came right up to them and stopped. You never went any further. But you need to press on through, and get deep into the riches of God’s Word
which is able to make you wise in the things of God and to salvation.
Darkness is engulfing our world and the nations all around us, where right is now wrong, and every sin is now acceptable. Truth has fallen in the streets as well as in government, and what is just and righteous is rejected and laughed at by the fools who think they know better. (Isaiah 59:14)
'God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light upon our path.'
