Pastor's Corner

A young man borrowed his brothers' car and on a sharp corner lost control. The car came to rest upside down in a 12-foot-deep ditch. Though he was able to climb out of the car safely, he'd been careless with what belonged to another. There are occasions when we borrow what belongs to another and it may become damaged in our care. If we are going to borrow from another, we need to be careful and respectful with it.

God's Word is His Word. We must handle it, live it, and walk in it carefully. His Word gives us life and power. His Word washes worldly thoughts away. His Word proceeds from His own mouth. His Word brings to our heart the message of Jesus Christ death for our sins and His miraculous resurrection. His Word lights the way on the darkest path. His Word comforts us when we've been broken. His Word lifts us into the assurance of His promises. His Word hidden in our heart guides us away from sin and into obedience. His Word builds our faith. His Word speaks to us of His love. His Word is a sword that is victorious in spiritual warfare.

The Lord says to us, "These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at My Word" Isaiah 66:2.
