The Bible is the foundation of theology I think we can agree on that right if we don't have the Bible, we don't have theology we are wasting a lot of time this morning let's go watch NASCAR right if true if it's not if it's not authoritative if it's not God's Word we are the most miserable of all people but if it is true if it is God's Word then we definitely should take time and we should look at and what does it have to say to us. [00:01:49]
When God decrees and commands it happens what he does when he decrees he sets truth into motion, so truth is set into motion so when you have once you have truth in motion you can't stop that truth that's why I put truth or tolerance truth doesn't tolerate tolerance because it can't you can't have two plus two is four to this group and two plus two is five to this group. [00:03:29]
Jesus is the word of God did you know that Jesus is the word of God in the beginning it said was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and he was in the beginning with God so all things were made through him so everything was made through Jesus Christ without him nothing was made that was made in him was life and the life was the light of men. [00:04:38]
God speaks through flawed vessels he puts a perfect truth into flawed vessels doesn't he there's one on the stage right now flawed vessel and God uses people he uses flawed vessels to promote and to proclaim his truth I mean personally I've always thought you know if God wants to tell us something why wouldn't he write it down to me it would it just makes perfect sense. [00:06:08]
The truth invites scrutiny this invites it come let's scrutinize when you want to talk to people that come to your door and do this they don't want to look at this do they and I start scrutinizing their teaching they get upset well why are you getting upset if it's true if it's true why are you getting upset because air runs from it true says let's reason together let's talk about it. [00:11:12]
God used men to write his word and it's written 1500 years the whole Bible is written over 1,500 years on three different continents by 40 different authors, saying the same thing saying the same thing you can't get two people working in a book to say the same thing no we need go this direction no we need to go this direction so you look at the consistency. [00:14:25]
The Bible is not used properly when it comes from a mean angry heart and they're telling people off and they're going out of anger and and and critical and judgmental ISM but it's the most powerful weapon a person can can have if it comes from a broken heart that's filled with God's Spirit it will go and it will pierce that's why it says the the Word of God is living and vibrant. [00:44:11]
The problem is in the application we are here's of the word and not doers and James said if your here is only not doers of the word you are living in deception so as much as I want to talk about the Bible and the loving the Bible it has to be the application of the truth that's what sets us free disobeying God's Word and avoiding it makes us spiritually dull. [00:45:19]
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path the sinner nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his delight his delight is in the law of the Lord and in the law he meditates day and night so I'm assuming most of you want to be blessed right I don't know what your definition of blessed is. [00:46:12]
Blessed is the man or woman who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly what does that mean why are you getting your information from Beyonce or the Bible right who's countin NASCAR or Colossians right you know the hard thing about NASCAR every time I watch it I want to go get Doritos a six-pack of beer and buy a Dodge Charger and then that order. [00:47:19]
Blessed is the man or woman or child who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly you wonder why we're seeing in schools shootings you wonder why we're seeing chaos confusion we you wonder why I mean I remember in my day we used to I talked about this before a couple years ago but I I was walking down the street I'd see adults I'd move aside yes sir yes ma'am. [00:48:59]
The light shines in the darkness here's one thing I know you cannot stop it ask Voltaire ask all the people who came before to try to stop God's work word from Kings to prophets to political people they tried to silence it North Korea try the science or try they tried it you cannot stop the light go out and try to stop the Sun from coming up tomorrow tomorrow morning.
