The Bible Tells Me So

• Luke 1:37 – No Word from God will ever Fail……

It’s been 12 years since 2014 when a few of us from Church went to watch the new Russell Crowe movie about Noah.  Everyone of us was sadly disappointed because we thought we had a pretty good handle on the story, but you wouldn’t know that watching the movie.  After some time and reflection I began to wonder how many go to Church Sunday after Sunday and would never be able to question anything that is said or done simply because they do not know what the Bible says?

If you quickly turn off the TV and do a nosedive behind the couch because the JW’s just showed up then I may be talking to you.  If you are playing Bible Trivia Jr. and you want to argue with the card that says Moses is the answer but in you know in your heart it’s Charlton Heston – I may be talking to you.  If you think the first car in the Bible was a Honda owned by the disciples because they were all in one ACCORD – I may be talking to you.   I wonder if on any given Sunday I could get up and preach my little heart out and say – the bible says…..

A fool and his money are soon parted…..Charity begins at home                                                                                                                                                                                Cleanliness is next to Godliness…….Money is the root of all evil                                                                                                                                                                                  Go to the altar and pray through……Love the sinner and hate the sin                                                                                                                                                                          God helps those who help themselves……The three Wisemen……                                                                                                                                                                                The apple Adam and Eve ate……The Sinner’s Prayer……the Rapture

Concepts or thoughts from the bible but none of these words or phrases mentioned.  I would be heartbroken if I poured out everything you need to know for life and eternity and you never read the letter.  If I had one wish for God’s people – all of God’s people  - it would be a revival of reading and meditation, effort and study, it would be a renewed sense of urgency when it comes to knowing the Word of God.   What a blessing and privilege to have access to the word of God.  Makes me want to ask – have you heard from God lately?  If not, why not?
