DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- EQUIPPED

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – EQUIPPED

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." (II Timothy 3:16-17)

Do you want to be a confident Christian, thoroughly equipped to live the Christian life? There is no other way than to know God's Word.

So many Christians muddle along in their faith, not sure what they truly believe or why they believe it. They are informed by what culture says a Christian is, or by a television preacher, or by the way they were raised. But they have not taken the pains to know what God says about Christian living.

God has given us everything we need to have sound doctrine, and His Word reproves us when we are wrong, corrects us when we get off-course, and instructs us in righteous living. These are given for one purpose – they make us complete and equipped for doing His work.

Nothing can take the place of studying and knowing what God says. What comes from the mouth of God surpasses all other sources. That is why it is so important to spend time studying to know God's Word.

Jesus said that whoever hears and does what He said will have a solid faith that will withstand the storms that will inevitably come (Matthew 7:24-27). That is a person who plants his feet firmly on God's Word.

Love, Dad
