His Word Alone


Image result for light in darkness




“Let there be light!” resounded to the furthest corners of nothing.
But God had spoken.
His Word alone produced light.  The very origin of our existence.  And His word alone can flood light into our spiritual darkness.
But man sinned, breaking the Creator’s heart.  The only way to redeem the fallen race required the death of the Creator in place of the mortal creation.  
Seized with fear, the ruddy fisherman strained at the oars.  Waves broke on them, as they slowly sunk.  Minutes away from a watery grave.  Finally they gave up.  And it was then that they remembered their Master.
Isn’t that what we do?  We try to run our own lives in the way that we want.  But once our way goes awry, then we turn to Jesus for help.
Rousing from sleep, with authority Jesus commanded the wind and the waves. “Peace be still!” And His word alone calmed that stormy sea.  And He can calm the storms in our lives as well, but only when we let Him.  When we sink in despair, He points us to the rainbow.
“Lazarus, come forth!” echoed into the deepest confines of the tomb.  It penetrated to the very heart of death, and roused the body to life.  Still wrapped in graveclothes, Lazarus stepped out of his stony prison.  His word along raised the dead to life.
“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” - Matthew 19:26
The very foundations of the earth shook as the cry, “It is finished!”, rang out triumphant from the Lamb of God hanging from Calvary’s cross.  As soon as those words left His trembling lips, the ultimate price was paid.  Man, though fallen, was now redeemed.  His word alone paid our ransom.
Today, He is calling you, “Come, and let us reason together… though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as the snow; though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool.”  He is offering you eternal life, His robe of righteousness to cover all traces of your sinful past.  His word alone can change your life.
Centuries ago, the voice of God was heard.  “Whom shall I send?  And who will go for us?” Are you willing to answer the call?  Will you go out by faith and say, “Here am I.”  He promises He will never leave us nor forsake us.  His word is true.  His word alone created the world, calmed the storm, raised the dead, and opened the door for man’s salvation.  Let us share His word to the ends of the earth, for He is coming soon!

Light in the Dark

It’s dark. There’s no moon, and the clouds cover the stars. There is no light whatsoever, and you can’t see anything; not even your hand if you were to put it right in front of your face. You can hear sounds that only the night makes, and you begin to feel a chill creeping in. All you want to be is home! You’re out in the middle of the woods, lost in the darkness. You could find your way home— if only you could see something; anything! But alas, there is no light. All is pitch blackness.  Suddenly, you bump your toe on something. Jumping, you think it’s a wild animal but realize it’s only a rock. Wait a minute, this rock feels funny. You reach down and feel the object carefully, making sure that whatever it is doesn’t decide to bite. Your heart jumps; it’s a flashlight! In your joy you pick it up and fumble around a little. It feels kinda old, but you refuse to let your hopes down. You feel for the switch, and immediately there’s a beam of light stretching in front of you. Hap...

Will You Tell Them?

The day dawns bright like any other day. The sun sends its warm rays down toward earth, birds chirp merrily in the trees, and everyone goes on with their normal everyday lives.      A man and woman get into their brand new car and head to their downtown office to work. They impatiently make their way through slow traffic and finally arrive at their large office. Before long, they are both sitting at their desks, in expensive leather chairs, working on important jobs.      A yellow bus winds its way down the road to an elementary school. The blond curls of a little girl bounce as she chatters merrily with a friend. Soon the bus comes to a stop and they arrive at their destination. The girls skip happily into school, and sit down at their little desks.      Back in the suburbs of the city, a mother and her children start the new day by turning on the TV. The siblings squabble over shows and fight over the remote, and the mother, tired fro...

Open the Door

It was warm and cozy in my room at about 7:00 in the morning. I got up from my bed where I’d been sitting having my devotions and headed out to the kitchen for breakfast. Suddenly, I stopped. Should I leave my door open or keep it closed? I wondered. If I left it closed I’d be able to keep my room warmer for longer, but if I opened it, I would help warm up the rest of the house. I was wondering what to do when, suddenly, a thought popped into my head: It’s kind of like the church.  You might be wondering what my bedroom door has to do with the body of Christ. It’s like this: like my bedroom, the church is warm inside, spiritually. Outside, like the rest of the house, it’s very cold. People outside the church don’t enjoy the warmth that we do.  It made me think. Shouldn’t we, as a church, open our doors to help shed some warmth out on the rest of the world more often than we actually do? Shouldn’t we try to bring souls who are freezing, whether they realize it or not...
