Bible Note: Stirred in the Inner Life by the Word By: Andrew Murray I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: fist for the Jew, then for the Gentile. Romans 1:16 The true aim of education, study, reading, is to be found, not in what is brought into us, but in what is brought out of ourselves by the awakening into active exercise of our inward power. This is as true of the study of the Bible as of any other study. God’s Word works its true blessing only when the trust it brings to us has stirred the inner life, and reproduced itself in resolve, trust, love or adoration. When the heart has received the Word through the mind, and has had its spiritual powers called out and exercised on it, the Word is no longer void, but has done that whereunto God has sent. It has become part of our life, and strengthened us for the new purpose and effort. A Spiritual Journey Life Renewal Devotional ã1992 by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ken, do you see this happening in your posts? What kind of response are you eliciting from others? "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." Eph 4:29 Again, I ask that you be EDIFYING - in your judgment of my faith, where was Scripture for my correction, instruction or encouragement? mommapbs |
