IS REFORM NECESSARY?

Posted on October 31, 2021 by atimetoshare.me
The Christian church is under attack today, just as it always has been. The Word of God is being challenged daily and rewritten for man’s advantage. When God inspired His human scribes to pen the words He wanted them to pen, He promised that they are His words – not those of sinful men. The words are hard to swallow sometimes. They might even seem old fashioned and foolish to some, but they are the divine utterances of our holy, living God.
 
Today the Bible is assumed to be just another book with some ideas for good living; some perceptions by a group of narrow minded folks who have nothing else to boast about. Isn’t it funny how the Bible remains a best seller? There must be a need for reading what it has to say. Over time and with the help of the devil and his legions of followers, the Word has been corrupted as much as has the church. It’s time to defend it once more. We need to make sure it remains the same today as it was when it was first placed in man’s hands. We must use the entire book, not just bits and pieces of it. If we don’t, we don’t get the whole message. God is very clear in what He has to say to us.
 
Let us arm ourselves with the truth He has given us. This is a battle we can win, because God has this.
 
“The Word they still shall let remain, nor any thanks have for it;
He’s by our side upon the plain with His good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life, goods, fame, child and wife,
Let these all be gone, they yet have nothing won;
the Kingdom our remaineth.”
 
Martin Luther  “A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD.”

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    My uncle’s book comes out on Wednesday, but I got an advance copy. He talks about how God’s mechanism of Creation could be the star-life cycle that we have witnessed in our telescopes. If so, Creation is still going as the universe expands, old stars die off and new stars are formed with planets around them, etc. I say that only in the thought that Reformation was not one day a little over 500 years ago, but it continues. If it ever stops, we will be unable to defend the next attack from Satan – and I fear we gave missed on some of the recent attacks.

    Kathy, I always appreciate your personal witness with its heartfelt discussion. While the Bible is filled with God’s living Word, there is no wiggle room to cherry pick what we like. This whole body of Scripture never grows stale, as long as we continue to read and study from it.
