Good Morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  -John 1:1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about this verse is that it reminds us that when reading the Bible (the Word) we are directly in communication with God. That is why it is so important that we revere it as such and that we don\u2019t take away from it or take it completely out of context. The Bible also says that God is love so when we use the Bible as a weapon against someone it is using it out of context. In the Bible we see a lot of different ways that God is love but in every context He works for the betterment of the people. When we use the Bible as an avenue to set someone on the straight and narrow, depending on how it is done, may turn them away from the Bible and from God. The Bible can and should be used for correction but oftentimes that correction comes when we spend time reading and studying the Bible on a regular basis. Gospel means \u201cgood news\u201d so when we are sharing the Gospel are we treating it as such? I know there are differing opinions on this subject but all in all, what really matters is, what is our heart posture behind it when sharing scripture? How is the Holy Spirit prompting us to share it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency, and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.\u201d  -John Scott<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best way to gain wisdom is by applying God\u2019s Word to your life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
