morning. Almost made it through another week. Well, I have a question for you this morning and that is, where do we go to find the truth? Where do we go to find the truth? Not to the internet. Not to YouTube. Not to X. find a lot of lies on YouTube, find a lot of lies on X. Where do we go to find the truth? Proverbs 35, 30 verse 5, every word of God is pure. Every word of God is pure. He's a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Jesus Christ said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. Psalm 11, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1 Thessalonians 2.13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it was in truth the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 2 Corinthians 2.17 For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God in the sight of men. Let us try this again. For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God in the sight of God speak we in Christ. Psalm 5610, In God will I praise His Word, in the Lord will I praise His Word. Acts 19.20, So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed. 1 Timothy 4.5, It is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. Acts 12.24, But the Word of God grew and multiplied. 2 Timothy 2.9 Worry and I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even unto bonds, but the word of God is not bound. Luke 11.28 But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 2 Timothy 2.15 Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman, that needeth not to be ashamed rightly, dividing the word of truth. Romans 10.17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Luke 4, 4, and Jesus answered him saying, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Well, a lot of people put tradition over the word of God, don't they? You know, you've heard the joke about the lady that kept cutting the end of the roast off before she put it in her pan. They asked, why do you do that? She said, well, that's the way my mom always did it. She always cut the end of it. Come to find out, her mother had a smaller pan. The traditions of men. Mark 7, 13, making the word of God an un-effect through your tradition which you have delivered, and many such like things do you. 1 Peter 1, 23, being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever. You know, all of these new corrupt translations of the Bible, including the Living Bible, the New International Version, all these new versions, corrupted versions, where they take out large portions of scripture and add things to the scripture, not to add to or take away from the word of God. You know, in fact there's a scripture revelation that says that there's not to add to or take away from the word of God. The Word of God is mentioned thousands of times in the Bible. Titus 1.3, But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior. The Bible tells us that scripture cannot be broken. John 10.35. Revelation 19.13, and he was clothed with the vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. Psalm 18.13, As for God, His way is perfect. The Word of the Lord is tried. He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him. 1 John 2.5 But whosoever keepeth his word in him barely is the love of God perfected. Hereby know that we are in him. 1 Kings 8.26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father. Acts 13.44 The next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. Isaiah 40 verse 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever. Revelation 1-2 who bear record of the Word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and of all the things that he saw. Well, you know, I don't think a person can spend too much time studying the Word of God and dwelling on it. The Bible says that thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path. It's the only place we can go to find truth. You know? The old saying goes that history was written by those who lived to tell about it. There's a lot of fake history out there written in the history books. Because the people that wrote it are the ones that lived to tell about it. People that are dead, they can't speak. So there's a lot of liars in history. A lot of bad, bad blood out there who have written history books. Acts 17.39, when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the Word of God was preached to Paul, they came thither also and stirred up the people. You know, when you start proclaiming the Word of God and it's true, people get stirred up, don't they? I don't know how many different versions of translations and expositions I've heard regarding the 9th chapter of Romans. I'll take that out of context. Well, I'm glad we have a source for truth in a world of social media. Acts 13, 26. Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, whomsoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of his salvation sent. The reason a lot of people don't believe the word of God is the Bible tells us all men have not faith. All men have not faith. Take the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Jeremiah 15, 16, thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by thy name, O Lord, God of hosts. Sometimes I'll have the radio on, there'll be a minister preaching, and I don't know what corrupted version he's reading, but I'll listen to his reading, his corrupted version of the Scripture, and I just have to shake my head. Wow. That's the Bible? I think not. I think not. And I get a lot of pushback because I proclaim the King James Version of the Bible as the Word of God. You know? I don't have to have original Hebrew text or original Greek text to have the Word of God. It's been a faithful text for the last 400 years. I'm going to hold on to it. Acts 13, 46, Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you, but seeing you put it from you and judge yourself unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turned to the Gentiles. For the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing center of soul and spirit, and of the joints of marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Deuteronomy 4.2 You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish it from it. that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you." Well, there's a lot of things in the Bible that people don't like. You know, I can just name a few things they don't like. They don't like the scripture, Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated. They don't like, hath not the pot or power over the clay to make one clump unto honor and one unto dishonor. They don't like the scripture, let the women be silent in the churches. They certainly don't like that. They don't like the scripture that says that for the children being not yet born, not having done any good or evil that the purpose of God according to election might stand. They don't like the scripture that says he works all things after the counsel of his own will. A lot of people don't like the first verse in the Bible, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Psalm 119, 154. Plead my cause and deliver me, quicken me according to thy words. Well, you know, there's so much that we can learn from studying the Word of God. Psalm 119, 50. This is my comfort in my affliction, for thy Word hath quickened me. Psalm 119, 114, Thou art my hiding place and my shield, I hope in Thy Word. Well, this morning, let us continue in the Word of God and let us realize that the only truth can be found in Christ and His Word. May the good Lord be with you today in a special way is my prayer. God bless.
