THE WORD AND THE TRUTH




I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD ....YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME
YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELVES AN IDOL
YOU SHALL NOT MISUSE THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD
REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY BY KEEPING IT HOLY (BECAUSE I AM HOLY)
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER
YOU SHALL NOT MURDER
YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL
YOU SHALL NOT GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY
YOU SHALL NOT COVET....ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO YOUR NEIGHBOR

WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT,JESUS REFERRED TO THEM:
"LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND."  AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT:  "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." MATH 22:37-39 










John 8:47
He that is of God, hears God's words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God. 

This applies to the whole 66 books of the Bible which are the TRUTH and the word of Almighty God.  Are we hungry for the word of God? Does it stir the Spirit within us when the word goes forth? Perhaps it is time to examine ourselves and see if we need to get right with God. 

It is possible that the person could not understand the preacher, if they or he were foreign. It could be that the person not listening gladly because their mind is on problems at home. If consistently a person was not receiving the word gladly, then we need to pray for that person that they will be convicted by the Holy Spirit. I know it was in listening to the word of God, when I was convicted of sin and saved. I know there is great power in the word of God.  

Quote from Billy Graham: "One of the greatest tragedies today is that, although the Bible is an available open book, it is a closed book to millions---- either because they leave it unread or because they read it with without applying its teachings to their lives. No greater tragedy can befall a man or a nation than that of paying lip service to a Bible left unread or to a way of life not followed." 

Prayer: Thank you Heavenly Father who we love and adore, thank you for your word to us that we should also want to listen to the word of God that your will be done and your kingdom come. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

If you have not made a commitment to God yet!

You need to talk to him now while you have this opportunity.

Only through faith in Christ alone is there hope.
PRAY NOW to Jesus Christ who died to save you.
REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS turn away from them,to God.Whatever it costs,heaven is cheap at any cost!
   Life is short.   ETERNITY IS FOREVER!

LORD JESUS YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AT CALVARY,
CLEANSE ME OF ALL MY SINS BY THE POWER OF YOUR BLOOD, COME INTO MY LIFE
AND HELP ME TO FOLLOW YOU FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS, IN YOUR PRECIOUS NAME
AMEN.
