What is Our Spiritual Temperature?
Each of Us Will Have to Answer That Question
I am learning to feast on the Word of God. I have learned much
about how different people apply the truth of Scriptures to the
major problems of the 21 st century, church, and society. I guess
we believe someone has to be the expert. How else would we
learn these things? Someone has to be quotable. We cannot
just believe these things on our own, can we?
A number of years ago I grew tired of seeking all the answers,
so I began to read the living Word of God. Today I am just an
old guy who loves to graze and chew and chew on the sweet
truth of God’s precious Word. Strange things began to happen.
My life became packed with peace and joy. Moreover it seems
I am too conservative for some; and in other areas too
unpredictable to others. It’s not important to me that everyone
believes everything exactly as I do on every issue. When you
are searching the Word of God for truth, the truth is more
valuable than the fact that some things don’t quite fit. The
truth seems perfectly capable of speaking for itself. That means
that everyone can read and graze and digest on the precious
Word of God on his or her own. That seems to frighten some
because we want someone to tell us the truth. We live in a day
when we have more tools to learn the scriptures than anyone
has ever had available at any time in history. The time is here
for us to return to being men and women of the precious Word
of God... “The Living Word”. Will you take time to graze and
meditate, this will change your life.
