Like as our Pastor Mark of {Church for all nations} was saying recently, "the church as a whole is sleeping." We need to wake up! Many churches preach a water down message of God's Word or something that tickles the ears. I have more that I would like to say, but I have to go for now.

Most times when I emphasize the importance of knowing the word, I point to two passages, the first is Psalm 119:97-104. "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou has taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way" The second is Matthew 22:15-46, where Jesus completely routed his enemies in example after example through his wisdom and knowledge of the Scriptures. We the church would look and act differently if we would spend more time in His Word. Dan, you're being called a "totalitarian" in this case is a compliment. God Bless You! Don Dan
