Christ is the Answer

The Answer to all of the Problems of Life are in the Bible         

The Lord's Word, the Bible, should always be our guide, not feelings, psychological humanistic tradition and not opinions. We must let the Word of God and the Holy Spirit be our guide. We ought to be asking all the time for everything, "What does God say about this."

The only way to know what God thinks is to read the Love Letter He sent from Himself to those who wrote it down for Him, the Bible!

When we assert a concept we must always be ready to prove that concept by Scripture.

Many times I have had to let go of things I was taught in church, in favor of the truth of the Bible. Far too many things in church today and even back in my early days, were based on psychology or other human traditions.

If we are not willing to say to the Lord, "I want to know only truth from you", then you are not seeking the Lord. Those who will not seek the Lord for cleansing of wrong teachings, are cherry picking to be able to justify much of what they do or want to believe.

When we have a dilemma, our first response is to go to God in prayer, not another person for the answer. Then we should search the Scriptures to find the answer. The answer to every situation is in that mighty Word. The exact situation may not be there, but the principles are.

No one could give us a situation that does not have principles in the Word that deal with that specific situation. We look for the principles of living to discern the needed action or attitude.

All of the answers to life are in the Scriptures and all of the answers to life are Christ because He is the Word.
