19850804 Seven Wonders Of The Word Of God - Rev. Tommy Jones
What is the Word of God? It is the #Bible. The more we learn through our scientific endeavors, the more we find that the Bible got it right even before we knew what questions to ask. Was the Bible written by men? Who inspired it? How did God get His words on the page? Who helps us to interpret the Bible? What did Jesus believe about the Bible? How does the Word equate with reason or conscience? How has the most sold (and most stolen) book in history lasted so long? How can it feed us? If you think your smartphone is full of apps to help you get through your day, check out your Bible. Ask the Lord this week to show you the depths in His Word.

Do you #tell others, “Sure I’ll do a certain thing with or for you.” Yet, it never happens! Are you a#procrastinator, people #pleaser, #liar or just a self-centered #opportunist? Does your #word reflect your #performance? My mother left an indelible imprint on me by her promise keeping actions. When I was in the second grade, Mother promised me that we would go to the Rex Theatre for a Friday night movie with popcorn! (there was no tv or video) In my young mind that week seemed like a month waiting for showtime. Wouldn’t you know something would come along to shadder my dream …It started to snow and it would not stop! We did not have a car and were planning to walk. Mother being a practical mother said we would have to postpone. I was heartbroken then she said, “Get your snowboots and bundle up! I promised and we will go together hand in hand through the snow to the show.” We were the only people in the theatre that night, and while popcorn has never smelled better, the love of my mother is the warmth that I remember, because she chose to keep a promise in spite of the circumstances. The Bible tells us over and over how God keeps His Promises. 11Chronicles 6:4 “Blessed be the LORD GOD of Israel who has with His hands fulfilled that which He spoke with His mouth…” 10 “The LORD has performed His word that He has spoken …as the LORD PROMISED” Heb. 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for the LORD who PROMISED IS FAITHFUL.” Heb.12:1-15
Once we have received #JesusChrist as our personal #Lord and #Savior, what can we expect and what is expected of us? How many conversions are involved? What is happening when a Christian turns back to their old ways or never really changes? If a Christian could lose their Salvation, what would that mean about Jesus’ sacrifice? If the question of security has been answered, and it has, how do we then grow?

#You #Count! Do you ever feel no one notices you? Are you isolated? Feel trapped? Well, God is witnessing your life! When my precious family developed #Find Bible Truth, I thought that it was a wonderful way to share the Bible. We live in separate cities; yet God is witnessing our combined desire to serve Him by proclaiming the truth of the Bible. Because of God’s Grace and all of their conscientious devotion to His Word, FBT is being viewed around the world in over 54 countries. Praise the Lord. Wherever you are in this world today – You Count! I remember back in the 1960’s when my sister and bother-in-law went to Kenya as missionaries. She was a concert pianist, beauty queen, honors student – he was graduated from Rice with honors and both graduates of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Their first year was spent living in a tent – (no cell phones) When they returned home on furlough after four years, I asked them have you seen many accept Christ as their Savior? She said hopefully, “Not Yet” At the end of another four years, the seed of God’s word, their witness, and the Holy Spirit brought hundreds in Kenya to accept Christ as Lord and Savior providing a new everlasting life. I can shout for joy that some of the strong Christian people that meet our president this week in Kenya have been touched by God’s Word living among them. You Count! “Behold, I the LORD have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a leader and commander. You shall call a nation that you do not know and nations that do not know you shall run to you because of the LORD thy GOD .” Isaiah 55:4,5 “now in Christ Jesus you who were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. He is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of division between us. He came and preached peace to you which were far off for through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now we are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints and of the household of God.” Eph.2:13-19 YOU COUNT
