The Written Word

This video came across the Twitter newsfeed of Bring Me 70 last night and what an incredible message. I've also admired Dr. Price' teaching and preaching; how He presents the Word and his interaction with His congregation. This classic sermon is truly powerful.

On this short, #effectiveSunday post, I would do well myself, to heed the words of Dr. Price. I should be in the Word of God more. You can not separate one from their word Abilities come and ago and require strength, time, resources and more when it comes to getting things done. So while our actions and deeds are memorable, our words are all the more. Communication is not hindered by physical ability, like some actions may be.

We are known by our words; we know God by His Word.
People can't know who we are, if we don't communicate with them who we are.
Likewise, people can't know God, if He didn't communicate with us

What makes Christianity difficult and thereby communicating the love of Christ, are those who have read the Bible and consider themselves knowing God well enough to remain wanting nothing to do with Him. They have entered a relationship with God on the premise of already having made up their mind that the relationship is flawed and failed; and it's not their doing, but that somehow God is not who He says He is. To add fuel to their fire, Christians continually drop the ball, in exemplifying and living this out in our own lives, by both our own words and deeds.

This absolutely requires revelation from God to those who have yet to confess Christ as Lord.
It certainly requires the church to call on God, that would we better display Christ as Lord.

Pray this #effectiveSunday, that God would help His people. Not that we just be better people and better humans, but that we would be display the  love of Jesus Christ. Pray that God would illuminate His Word to those who read and genuinely seek to understand who God is and how He operates. Pray a desire in the church, like I will do for myself, they people would have a greater want for God and His Word and the power of prayer in their lives. 

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but powers of this dark age.
May the Holy Spirit empower and quicken the people of God
Effective for the cause of Jesus Christ
Efficient in reaching out to those in need of a move of God.
For His Glory.
