The Word of God

Alex Bangle on January 4, 2011

The Word of God can be expressed in several ways, as Jesus Christ (Jn 1:1, Rev 19:13), speech by God, personal address by God, God speaking through human lips and the written word (The Bible). All of these are truth and ways the Word of God haven been shared and expressed to us. Of all of these though, we have direct access 24/7 to one, the bible. The bible is God’s written word, documentation of that which He has, is and will do.

“This is the form of God’s Word that is available for study, for public inspection, for repeated examination and as a basis for mutual discussions. It tells us about and points us to the Word of God as a person, namely Jesus Christ, whom we do not now have present in bodily form on earth.” – Systematic Theology. We should read the bible daily and reflect on God’s Word, letting it reach deep into our hearts and minds to change us and shape us into His image. 

Truth, Action and Prayer

Alex Bangle on January 2, 2011

The study of God and His word is a critical thing to our Christian faith and many forget the importance of it. Of course, study of truth alone isn’t enough because taking it into practice is critical! But on the other hand action without a solid foundation of truth can lead to grave mistakes and misunderstanding. I hope this year through these blogs and other interactions that we all may seek out the hard truth’s of God and not be ashamed of the gospel and what it says.

Also that we may pause everyday during our busy schedules, if only for a moment, reflect on God and His Word. That’s my challenge, don’t just stop for a moment and read this blog, or just throw a 5 second prayer out before walking in the door. But to take a moment to stop and think upon God who is in heaven on His throne reigning supremely over and in all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and invisible.
