The Power of the Word of God
from the messages of Adrian Rogers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Romans 11:33 - "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!"

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
We must guard ourselves against lowering the standard of God’s Word to our level of understanding or political correctness. And we must guard ourselves against raising our standard of tradition above the standard of His Word. The Bible is not meant to be paraded past the judgment bar of your mind. You can argue with it, but why? You can pick up and read any other book, but this is the book that reads you. It pulsates with life and power. It cuts, burns, crushes, and wields mountain-moving power. His Word has a life of its own. It is the voice of God to you. You cannot refuse it, deny it, distort it, or dilute it. You can only bow before it.

ACTION POINT:
When was the last time you studied the history behind the Word of God? Search the Internet or go to a bookstore or your church’s library and study how the translations were discovered and passed on.
