Devotional: Stay a Student of His Word

"continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from who you have learned them, and how from childhood you have known the Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation...
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:15

It is wrong for me NOT to put time in learning about God and His Word. The Bible is an absolute necessity for living. The passage says it is thru the Scriptures that I will be complete and enabled for doing good. This also means that if I am learning Scriptures properly, there will be completeness and there will be fruits of good work. If these are not happening, either I am not studying or I am not receiving God's Word as intended.

I pray for strength and desire to be a continual student of God's Word.

When Did Church Become About Us?

When did church and worship become centered around man? We sit during 'Sunday' (whatever day you have it) church and it’s become a program. Lots of noise and distraction. So many things happening. So many people talking. By the time we get to the message, the congregation is already tired from information overload and overstimulation. The message is the last one in, and it’s a sad thing that leaders feel the need to decorate Sunday worship with entertainment. Lots of announcements. Fun segments. Entertainment. Yes, connecting points. These are all important for fellowship. Just maybe not too many. And not one after another. Maybe, finish our main business first - and that is to hear from God. And then after, we can hear from each other. Why is God’s voice often the last item? In a day and age when attention spans have shrunk so much, this is not a good thing. The Real Way to “Liven Up” Church Some leaders zero in on ways to liven up the church and come up with too...
