Title: THE GUIDE Post by: episkopos on July 26, 2012, 11:06:45 AM THE GUIDE
Dag Heward-Mills READ: Psalm 119:97-104 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Psalm 119:133 The Bible contains the written Word of God. It is a reliable source of direction for us all. The Word of God is a silent voice. The silent voices are a group of voices that the Holy Spirit uses to guide us. They are silent in the sense that you do not hear a person speaking audibly. They are however, common ways by which the Holy Spirit leads us all. You see, being led by the Spirit of God is not a very simple thing. There are many methods by which God communicates with His children. One of these is the written Word of God. The Word of God is given to us for direction in our lives. Everything we do must be done according to the Word of God. In a very general way, the Word of God is the perfect guide book for our lives. The Bible is a unique book that contains instruction on every possible issue that may arise. There are many people who think that the Bible is not a practical and relevant book for today. One lady told me that she believed she could practise fornication because the Bible was out of fashion. Three years later, when her boyfriend of many years ditched her, she realized that the Bible was not so archaic after all. The Scriptures are profitable, useful, relevant and practical for every Christian today (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)! |
