2Pe 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

The Word of God is just that, The word of GOD! None of the bible was ever produced by the will of man, not one dot or tittle. It is all from God.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

ALL Scripture! I want us to know that ALL not just the parts I like. Not even just the parts that make me feel good about me, but all!

Shall we do it again?

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Heb 4:13  And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

I think it is important for me to share with you some of the word of our God. I know that you are capable to read it on your own and I'm sure you do.

This is what I am thinking this evening. The word is powerful and it is alive, it will direct you better than your heart. Don't follow your heart unless your heart is following hard after the Word, let the Word be your guide.  Jer 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 

I am going to, with the help of God, start doing this again. You will be praying that it will be of help to you and to me.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet

The more people hear words that suit their own passions, the more they turn away from the truth.
