Reading, Listening, and Believing

Greetings to all. Pause this Sunday as you read or listen to the Bible. Consider whether you believe what you read or hear.

There are many things to read. However, God’s Word is inescapable and has a unique impact. The misuse of God’s Word, whether intentional or not, does not diminish its ability to reveal and convict. If you lack a foundation in God’s Word, you can find yourself confused and believing things unworthy of believing.

Hebrews 4:12–13 (MSG)

12God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey.

13Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.

Lesson: Only God's Word holds genuine transformative power and is worthy of total belief. It is unmatched in helping readers understand their thoughts and intentions and in guiding them toward the truth.
