A man is only as good as his word &
the 3 lost lines of Amazing Grace
...The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures,
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon resolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine,
But God who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
I was thinking of the line "His Word my hope secures" this morning. And of PS. 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
...thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name...
What is the name of Jesus without His Word?? Nothing but alot of hot air, for a man is only as good as his word.
When preachers tell us we don't need to repent to come to Jesus, what Jesus is that?
When a woman gets up in the pulpit and preaches saying Jesus told her to, what Jesus is that?
When a man says Jesus told him to marry a divorced woman whose husband is still alive,what Jesus is that?
When a friend says Jesus helped her buy highheels, mini skirts & flashy bling to wear to church, what Jesus is that?
I serve the Jesus of the Bible, the Word of God. We don't want to be as stupid as the animals that couldn't read the words on the back of the barn in Orwell's book. Which would have enabled them to notice when they'd been changed, or ignored.
