How Precious the Word

I recently read in the August issue of Pulpit Helps, published by AMG Publishers, Chattanooga, TN 37422, the following from John Meador, Senior Pastor of Woodland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga, TN ...

"Believers cannot handle the serious stuff of life, because they aren't hearing the serious stuff of the Scripture." He further states, "His (God) Word does what only the Word can do. The Word builds faith, it increases one's knowledge of God, it builds endurance in times of temptation, it gives direction and guidance for everyday living. It convicts of sin and corrects into the right way of living. In a word, it transforms."

2 Timothy 2: 15 re-enforces the need to live by God's Word. How are we going to win our families and friends to Jesus if we live by worldly standards? It's God's Word that changes our lives and will give lasting change to others.

'Til the storm passes,

Pastor Gary
