Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat! Jesus replied "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, "Honor your father and mother..." Matthew 15:2-4 NIV When challenged, Jesus goes to the Bible. While much of our Bible was still to be written he seemed to have plenty to go to. Is that where I go? That takes knowledge of God's word that requires  some commitment to get...more than just a 30 minute sermon on a Sunday... Keep going back to God's word and digging out the truth for ourselves...wrestle with how it applies to us today... to the situations and choices we face #wordsofJesus #GodsWord #keepinit

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 NIV I want to be prosperous and successful...but am I prepared to meditate on God's Word like that? Am I prepared to do what it says? The Bible is pretty serious about itself...so maybe I should take it a bit more seriously too... This passage says to Memorise it Meditate on it Obey it Then there is success...maybe my view of what success is will change too... #GodsWord #getyourarmouron

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God-which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 nlt God's Word is not just ordinary words on a page...somehow they can change us and "work" in us...for that to happen we need to Read it Memorise it Repeat it Meditate on it Apply it... #GodsWord #getinamongstit #getyourarmouron
