Surrender to the Word of God

Written by reachthesky · May 10, 2009

“It’s not the parts of the Bible that I don’t understand which trouble me, it’s the parts that I read and understand that trouble me.”

- Mark Twain

What would it mean for you to surrender to the Word of God?
What defenses, hesitations, or objections do you have?
Do you read the Bible to just study it or to be studied by it as well?
Have you let God’s Word speak to your soul recently? Ever?
Pray that you can say, like David, that God’s word is: “More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.”

It’s so great to know that Heather and I can still hear the message even though we were away this past weekend. If it is true that “immediately, the evil one comes to steal the word that is sown in our hearts” (Matthew 13:19), then those of you who put these sermons up on the site are like soldiers commissioned to recover that word and to guard it so that it can never be stolen again. Thank you very much for your weekly rescue missions.

I don’t think I have ever heard a pastor preach on the importance of the Bible in the way you communicated it this Sunday. The point that it is more than information, but a revelation of Jesus that speaks to us was so impacting. Psalm 19 and the words about the honeycomb and the treasuring of Jesus, encouraged me to approach the Word as God speaking and encountering Jesus. I have taught bible classes a lot of years but I am imspired to reorient how I read the bible. Imagine what would happen if Christian actually read and approached the bible with such passion and reality.
Thank you.
