Our Scripture reading today is 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."
We are blessed to have many different tools that can be used to aid us in studying
the Word of God. There are resources online now that save time, but has it made
a difference in how many people spend time in the Bible? I do not have any
statistics to give you, but my guess would be the tools are not being used. Most
Christians do not need less of the Bible, but they need more. It is our weapon
against the wiles of the devil. It is the daily nourishment that our soul desperately
needs. Pray for the pastors of our country not to shy away from preaching the
whole counsel of God.
“Swords are meant to cut and hack, and wound, and kill with, and the word of truth is for pricking men in the heart and killing their sins. The word of God is not committed to God’s ministers to amuse men with its glitter, nor to charm them with the jewels in its hilt, but to conquer their souls for Jesus.” (Spurgeon)
