“Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.” —2 Timothy 3:16-17 (MSG)
“Looking for Truth? Go to the Book” By Rick Warren:
“The Bible holds enormous amounts of truth. And how you approach the Bible will determine how much you get out of it. If you approach the Bible as a skeptic, it’s going to be a closed book to you. If you approach the Bible with reverence and humility, you’ll find it opening like a flower. Approach it with an open heart and a willingness for God to teach you. If you do that, you’ll never reach the bottom of the truth God has placed in his Word.
“We also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13 NIV).
Notice that the Bible claims to be the Word of God. That makes it different from every other book. Why? Because through prayer, you can talk to its Author and ask questions anytime you read it. We have a lot of books in our house. And they all are good books. But only one book is the book.
Second Timothy 3:16-17 says, “Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us” (The Message). What does it mean for Scripture to be God-breathed? God used humans to write down the words of the Bible, but they came directly from him. That sets the Bible apart from every other book.
Those verses say the Word of God is good for four things. It shows you the truth, exposes your rebellion, corrects your mistakes, and teaches you to live God’s way. In other words, God’s Word shows you the path to walk on, when you have left the path, how to get back on the path, and how to stay on the path.
The Bible reminds you, too, that God’s Word will last: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35 NIV). When you’re faced with questions of what’s true or what’s right in life, go to the Bible expecting to meet God there. You’ll find it’s a book like no other.”

Living His Word
Tumblr media
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. — 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Bible is not a book like any other book. The Bible is the Word of God. True, the Bible is written in the words of human beings. It has to be, or we would not understand it. But the Bible makes it clear that its words are the medium for the Word of God. Scripture is "breathed out by God," our verses for today proclaim. The very Word of God is revealed to us indirectly through the words of human beings. Behind the approximately forty authors of the Bible was the one God who inspired them all.
Since the Bible is the Word of God, it should have a status in our lives that supersedes any other book. We may learn a lot from other books, but the Bible should stand above them as the ultimate standard by which they are assessed. If other books fail to measure up to the standard or if they contradict it in some way, then they should be critically evaluated as such. The Bible gives us perspective and knowledge that cannot be acquired in any other way and, as a result, it should inform, guide, and direct any further search for perspective and knowledge on the world we live in.
Given what the Bible has for us, if you want to be a "man of God," if you want to be a person who is complete, then you must be a person who has been taught, reproofed, corrected, and trained by the Bible. People who have been trained by the Bible are ready for good works. This does not mean that further training is not necessary, but it does mean that those trained by the Bible are ready to live life as we are meant to live it. Without the perspective and knowledge of life that only the Bible can give we are incomplete human beings in a very fundamental sense.
The Bible should not be just one other book in your collection of books. The Bible should be the book that you give pride of place in your collection of books.
The Bible is the most important book ever written.

Do not take every word your pastor says as absolute solid biblical fact without studying the word of God for yourself. It is a disservice to you as well as your pastor. If  the pastor is found to be in error than you can help strengthen him and help them on their walk with God. After all they were a sinner in need of a savior just like you.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"I'm Not Good Enough" is Only One of the Lies
“I’m not good enough” is only one of the lies we tell ourselves. Moreover, this is what I told myself most of my life along with other lies like “You’re not good enough”, “You’ll never amount to anything”, “You’re too fat”, “You’re not pretty enough”, and the like. What Lies Do You Tell Yourself? I guess the point that I’m trying to make is that these are lies. So, why did I continue to believe…

Why I believe in the Holy Bible!
    At the beginning of each year my wife and I, like most Christians devote the 1st 21 days to fasting, praying, and calling out to God. During that time this year I found myself asking why do I believe the Holy Bible to be true. I know the answer, but the crazy part is I can never verbalize it well. One day a youtube notification popped up on my phone titled “Why I believe the Bible” by Dr.…

Eternal Assurance: Trusting in Christ Alone
Back in the early 90’s I faced a crisis as I held to a works-based salvation and constantly lived in fear of my eternal destiny. I had no assurance of my salvation because I never knew if I’d performed enough good works to validate my salvation. It was a terrible place to be. The solution came when I began to study the Scriptures carefully, stopped looking at myself, and fixed my “eyes on Jesus,…

Hebrews 4:12 (AMP‬‬). “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV). “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
