God Thinking 54 - The Christian Conscience 3

"Are you going to allow the flow of God to run through you by yielding to God - or are you going to stop the flow of God by yielding to self.

Romans 6:16 “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”

Whether you are a carpenter or and engineer, housewife or clerk, God wants you to be available for Him to reach the unbelieving world, in you and through you.

All the blessings that God has prophesied unto you are found in His Word.  God wants all His people to become familiar with Him and you become familiar with God when you read His Word.

The best way to do away with the cults and false religions of the world in this generation is to get people reading the bible on their own, at home, in their car, at work, while exercising, wherever they are.

Here’s why?
  • We don’t read the Word of God so that we can all be pastors.
  • We don’t read the Word of God so that we can all become theologians or Bible scholars, teachers or experts on biblical exegesis.
  • We don’t read the Word of God so that we can compete with others, (by knowing more Bible trivia than someone else).
We read the bible because it is the means of communication that God chose for mankind.  God did this so that each of us, in whatever station, would have all the information necessary to live a life of fulfillment and so that we would also have all the information necessary to glorify God."
