Study ( 2 Timothy 2:15 )

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

2 Timothy 2:15

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brothers and sisters we need to be in God's Word on a daily basis. God has provided His Word to us as a weapon( Ephesians 6:17 ) against our enemy the devil. In addition it has the answer to any question you will ever have. Amazing how people are looking for answers in this world in so many areas from alcohol,drugs, and 1-800 numbers. When all they need to do is pick up God's Word and in there they would find their answers. The kids in the youth group I help with always look at me when it comes to bible trivia. They think I'm a genius. What I've told them is the more you read and the more you let God write on your heart the more you will remember. Remember God's Word should be in your heart. See that was the problem with the Pharisees and the Sadducees is they had the scriptures in their minds,but not in their hearts( Mark 7:6-7 ).

Friends I encourage you get in the Word. Study it , get in deep and to show yourself approved. You know I've found the more I read the more I want to read. I leave you with this brothers and sisters are you at thirst or hungering for God's Word?

For anyone reading this tonight who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior I invite you to do so. Ask Him into your heart and admit your sinner in need of His forgiveness. Be real with Him and cast all your worries, doubts, and fears at His feet, the feet of mercy for He cares for you( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways and find your identity in Jesus Christ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). Instead cast yourself upon His mercy( Luke 18:13 ). Remember He is waiting on you with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ), and a grace that is sufficient( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him? Will you let Him set you free( John 8:36 ) ? I encourage you to do so. This is the single greatest choice you will ever make. It is a matter of life and death, life and death eternal( John 3:18 ). Don't wait make the choice tonight( Matthew 24:36 ) !


God bless,
