Greetings Pastor Henry,

Thank you for your powerful reflection on the authority and divine inspiration of Scripture. You beautifully emphasized “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16-17), affirming that the Bible is not merely a historical document but the living Word of God. Your inclusion of Hebrews 4:12 and Psalm 119:105 further illustrates how Scripture actively shapes our lives and lights our path. The consistency across its many authors, as highlighted in 2 Peter 1:20-21, is indeed a testament to the Holy Spirit’s guiding hand.

Another verse that complements this truth is James 1:22: “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” This verse reminds us that the authority of Scripture is not just to be acknowledged intellectually but embraced through obedience. It calls us to be doers of the Word, allowing its truths to transform our daily choices and interactions.

Living out the Bible’s teachings means allowing its wisdom to permeate every aspect of our lives—from how we treat others, to how we respond to trials, to how we steward our time and resources. It’s a call to integrity, humility, and faithfulness. When we align our actions with God’s Word, we become living testimonies of His grace and truth.

Let us ask ourselves: In what areas of our lives are we still merely listeners, and how can we become doers of the Word?

Blessed be the name of our Lord, Pastor Kevin
