We live in a precarious time.

We love to talk about God’s word. We
love to argue about what it really
means. We love to pontificate on it
and analyze it and break it down to
pieces.

But when push comes to shove, there
are 4 things we must be careful
never to do with God’s word:

#1 We Must not Bend it to Suit our
Will
I confess. I’ve done it before. When
necessary, in order to make God fit
into my little life, I’ve picked verses
out of context and twisted other
verses to suit what is best for me in
that moment. We must be careful to
always align our lives to God’s word
and not the other way around.

#2 We Should not Ignore it and
Expect it to Work

This one is so obvious but so common.
We barely open God’s word. We refuse
to obey His word, yet when He doesn’t
jump when we say jump, we doubt
Him and question His goodness. If
God’s word is going to have power in
your life and mine, let’s start by
paying attention to it.

#3 We Ought Not Equate it with
our Spiritual Experience
I read a very popular author write a
very popular article recently on the
power of her spiritual experience. She
spoke about how God speaks to us,
and never once mentioned God’s
word. This is dangerous and deadly.
While God might use your personal
experience to draw you closer to him
and make you aware of His presence,
it is His word that speaks loudest,
clearest and best. It trumps any
spiritual experience you’re still
seeking.

#4 We Can Never Use it to Earn
God’s Favor
God doesn’t want us to read His word
daily in order to appease Him. He isn’t
impressed when we can recite whole
books of the Bible. The point of
reading and knowing His word is
that it is the means to know Him.
His word reveals to us who He is. It
gives us the security we need to run to
Him and know His thoughts. It is
powerful, but no matter how much (or
how little) time you spent reading the
word today, God’s favor is yours in
Christ not because of anything you’re
doing but because of who He is. If
you’re a reader of God’s word, then
you already know this!

Here’s the thing about God’s word,
the Bible: you can believe it and
choose to obey it or you can reject it.
So what are you doing with it?

On Point
Wish all the Doctrinal Inventors out there would note this instead of pulling Newfangled doctrines out of every 2-3 disjointed verses they can string together...

most are motivated by
- ignorance
- the need to justify their arguement or viewpoint
- greed
- the desire to bend others to their will
- the desire to sound "novel" "pioneering" or "fresh" hence they look for "uniquely new-truths" to teach instead of "fresh revelation" of the old landmarks or new "present-day" applications of the old truths, ehn?
- some are playing God, acting out some macabre script of magic with the strange works they are outputting that they call miracles and in their quest for scriptural validation for societal credidbility, they bend and twist scripture not mindful of the framework you mentioned above. All the Kerosene-drinker pastors & bumbum-anointer ministers should take note.
- so many other reasons etc but by their fruits, you shall know them
