Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “amphigory.” As a new Christian, I took a look at the
Bible and thought to myself, there is no way that I will ever be able to learn
all of the stuff in here. However, after
taking the next several years to be mentored by guys who are older than me in
the faith, many of them in college or just out of college, I learned to know
the Bible pretty well. That's what
caused me to choose Azusa Pacific University over the other colleges that I was
looking at. It reminds me of those who
probably heard the word from Jesus back in the day. At that time, the authorities, like the
scribes and Pharisees, did not know Scripture as well as they probably should
have. This was seen in the fact that Jesus
was an untrained and unskilled teacher, but spoke with authority because of the
knowledge he was able to apply.
Whoever speaks on
their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one
who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. ~Jn 7:18
My question is: are you seeking to know the word of
God? Sometimes it is intimidating to
read the Bible for various reasons. Some
don't feel like they are good enough to deserve to even read what's in the
Bible, because they know that they go against those principles and sin. Others just never really give the Bible a
chance, and think it is just an amphigory.
My prayer is that you try and learn a little bit about the Bible each
day. You don't have to dive into it and
read a whole bunch, just enough to spark a conversation or two with someone
else who is reading. That's how you will
become sharper in your knowledge of the truth.
And, it is then that you will be able to influence others in a positive
and godly manner.
Praying for you,
MO
