How often do we recite and/or read this verse and not really soak in the depth of it…that the Creator of our very universe, the One and only all powerful eternal, holy God wrote a book for us to read…yet we ignore it! We take something that is literally “God-breathed” and trample it underfoot in a race to pick up and devote ourselves to abominations like “The Shack” which is neither profitable, nor does it adequately equip us for every good work, but Churches stop worshiping God through the reading and teaching of His Word and treat heretical blasphemes with more honor and reverence than the divine Scriptures.

Christian…do you even really believe that the words contained in the Bible are the very words and mind of God? Although most would say yes, there must be doubt that the Word is living and active, and that it truly has the ability to renew and transform the mind in such a way that we are made into the likeness of our Creator and Redeemer. Otherwise, there would be more devotion to, and love for the Word of God…people would be abandoning their apostate Churches in droves because they neglect God’s Word. These apostate Churches rebel against Biblical teaching by having women Pastors and Preachers, they justify various heinous sins all while integrating psychology under the guise of changing with the times. This perverse twisting of God's Word is an abomination to Him, and if Christians truly believed the Bible to be God's breathed out Word, they could not tolerate such things. They would know that God changeth not, and their souls would be troubled, pressed, and angered just as God's is when people speak and teach lies in His holy Name.

Isaiah 30:9-11
"For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the LORD; Who say to the seers, 'You must not see visions'; And to the prophets, 'You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions. Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.'"

Is this not the spirit of the age? So many say they are tired of “fire and brimstone” teaching, even though it was Christ who spoke and warned of hell more than anyone else. If fire and brimstone preaching is anything, it is the preaching of Christ, and those who do it are only following the example that Jesus set Himself. How dare we question our Lord, how dare we say that parts of His Word are not for us! Who do we think we are that we can ignore the warnings God gave us, that He in His perfect wisdom knows we need. Jesus said that the prophets longed to see the Christ in their day, and Peter says that the prophets looked intensely inquiring to know more about the Christ, for in those days they only had parts and portions of God’s Word, and here we are in this age with the completed Word...O' how the men in ancient days would love to have what we have in the Bible…and yet we continue to ignore it, elevating man’s words and wisdom above that of the Almighty, evily and ignorantly thinking we know better than the Alpha and Omega…we should lament our behavior, we should weep, mourn and wail for our ungrateful hearts.
