Effective Hearing of the Word as Instructed by Him Who Makes the Word Effectual

Pastor walks his children through Westminster Shorter Catechism question 90—especially explaining that the Spirit Who makes the Word effectual has taught us to come to it—before, during, and after reading and hearing it—as unto the worship of God.

Q90. How is the Word to be read and heard, that it may become effectual to salvation? That the Word may become effectual to salvation, we must attend thereunto with diligence, preparation and prayer; receive it with faith and love, lay it up in our hearts, and practice it in our lives.
