"War of Words" Series - Part 2: The Needful

 From Our Pastor's Desk

Luke 10:41-42 – “And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” Needful means “necessary for living; absolutely essential; indispensable; inevitable; required”. 

Our desire is to know God more and more. If we are to, then, know Him, we must know His word, because He is His Word, and His Word is Himself. Our faith is a “word-based Faith”. 

Acts 6:4  But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word The quality of our Christian lives will depend upon the way we view the Word of God and our disposition towards it. 

This is one of the basic issues to settle early on in the Christian life. For a steady, sturdy spiritual growth and life, the Word of God should be all in all. There is a ring of certainty and finality to God’s word. 

We live by the Word. The Word, as contained in the Bible, is the final arbiter in the life of the believer. Its verdict is final on all aspects of human behavior and endeavor – spiritual, physical, secular, social, material, etc. 

Many Christians go through months and years of their lives without reading the Bible. Still they seem to be quite satisfied.  Joshua 1:8 – “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night...” 

The Lord will grant us the grace to always choose the “needful”, the Word of God, that can never be taken away from us, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.  

You will have a great turn-around this 2020.  

Remain blessed.   

Shalom.
