you know this some of you already are saying well i already know this pastor well there you'd be surprised how many people don't know yet still so go to our website please in our website once you go over here go to the search engine and in the search engine type down theological outline and when you type down theological outline you're going to find my article you're going to find my article outline and it's going to be this our outline bibliology theology christology pneumatology anthropology on martiology soteriology christianology etc and etc so these points in the outline should be showing so we're gonna finish our doctrine of the bible bibliology okay so let's finish our study on bibliology tonight so let's talk about the bible the bible so let's talk about the bible today so the bible is an amazing book you should have also read from uh dr utmost theological studies about symbols of the bible and wonders of the bible those are the two things that you should have looked at all right so we're going to look and talk about the doctrine of the bible so first of all let's talk about the seven crowning wonders of the bible the first wonder is the wonder of its formation the wonder of its formation now we already covered production of the bible so in production of the bible i explained to you a lot of fascinating things about the book the wonder of its formation the wonder of its formation what about its formation pastor well rewind if you can so that you can write all this down if you don't get all down but basically it's one book written in one place in one language another book written in another country centuries later in another language that's the wonder of its formation the second wonder of the bible will be the wonder of its unification the wonder of its unification how so pastor well in the wonder of its unification it is a library of 66 books yet only one book for it has but one author the holy spirit and there are no contradictions it's amazing 66 yet united number three the wonder of its age the wonder of its age how so pastor what is so wonderful about its age because think about it folks it is the most ancient of all books there is no other book in the entire world that is more ancient than the book that you have in your hand right now that you could buy just for 99 cents in a dollar tree store that's got to be something all right the wonder of its sale the wonder of its sale you know why it's that much of a wonder it's the best selling book of all time your king james bibles literally literally billions of copies billions that's why bogamor the book of mormon they're trying to pass him out like flies why trying to out-compete but you can't out-compete the bible no matter what book you have not even rowling with all her harry potter books and all her millions of dollars can out compete the bible the bible is a fascinating book the wonder of its interest the wonder of its interest why is it that interesting are you kidding me how many videos have you watched from us already and you don't think that book is interesting by now maybe you should test your salvation maybe you're not saved maybe that's the reason why you're getting bored and don't see the interest of the book the reason why it is the only book that is read by all classes and ages of mankind think about that and it is read by it is read by old men it is read by children and it is read by all nations around the world you got to realize that folks all kinds of different cultures they take that book and read it it's that interesting from africa to china through the pacific islands and the america i mean the bible is not an american book that was that was a jewish book that was a jewish but written by mostly jews the wonder of its language the wonder of its language how so what is so wonderful about the language preacher oh the wonder of its language well it was written largely by do you know what kind of men wrote it uneducated men mostly uneducated men wrote this now don't get me wrong there were some very brilliant men who were involved like king solomon the physician luke but you got to realize this majority were uneducated men who wrote that book and god considered that as part of his bible that's a miraculous thing and it's considered today to be a literary masterpiece what written by fisherman and it's considered to be a masterpiece classic unfathomable the wonder of its preservation now that's my favorite the wonder of its preservation the bible is the most hated of all books it is the most hated of all books there is no other book that is more hated and it's not the book of mormon it's not the quran i'm talking about the king james bible and i'm not even talking about the niv people or the nkjv i'm talking about the king james bible even christian churches hate the king james bible they try to ridicule kjv what they call kjv onlyism but i'm going to tell you something that proves even more that the book that you got in your hand that king james bible is the right book because why in the world would there be so many people hating that one particular book what wrong did that book ever do to them what wrong did that book ever do to them unless there's a spiritual sinister force behind the scene that wants to attack that book out of all the other books he wants to attack that should be very telling that should be very telling time and time again kings and government governments have sought to burn and abolish the book the catholic church throughout century centuries have hunted down the waldensians and many christians and try to get the scriptures from their hands and you got to realize that the king james bible it was not all complete like that and they were freely able to produce copy after copy no it was fragments and manuscripts and copies of copies of parts of it that they had to hold it that they had to preserve that writers have to write down by hand before the printing press came out and that book has been preserved and you're telling me that bible is not a wonderful book after that it is a wonder out of all wonders and think about it now that bible can be found in almost every home today in america wow ain't that something ain't that something all right now we're going to turn to several verses right here let's talk about the symbols of the bible symbols of the bible there are seven symbols as well in the bible seven symbols throughout the bible the first passage that we will turn to is hebrews chapter 4 verse 12. hebrews chapter 4 verse 12. all right here are basic symbols that you should know if you don't know these then you don't know your beginners beginners discipleship this is a beginner's course you'd be surprised how many people know about oh who the nephilim are and you know who's the top elite ladder and then how it all works about the centrifugal forces of the universe and the earth and then blah blah blah blah blah and they won't know verses about seven symbols of the bible that's amazing some of these people they'll accuse me of being a person still sucking on my milk because there are deep doctrines that i refuse to cover yet because they're very abstract and they're all over online and those prideful people will say how much they know about that and i'm drinking milk but those people don't even know their own milk seven symbols of the bible all right that's a rebuke why am i rebuking about this because i'm telling you that these seven symbols this should be something you should know rather than jumping through something online and then getting lost in a rabbit hole with all this kind of stuff that's not going to benefit anything at the judgment seat of christ but these seven symbols of the bible they're going to be a benefit to you it's a sword look at hebrews chapter 4 and verse 12 hebrews chapter 4 verse 12. one of the verses that is very popular and you should be memorizing for the word of god it's quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints in marrow and this is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart so notice right here it's a two-edged sword it can cut you now notice this is too edgy why because the sword can be for you and it can even be against you how many times have people have tried to use the bible to promote their own fleshy beliefs and that sword has cut them they cut themselves with that sword rather than the sword being a benefit for them it cut them so it's a two-edged sword it can either be for you where it attacks your enemies or it can be against you where you can injure yourself another thing is that it's a hammer it's a hammer go to the book of jeremiah please jeremiah we're going to go to jeremiah chapter 23 and verse 29 jeremiah 23 and we will read verse 29 the word of god is a hammer you can't mess with that book man that book will smash you to pieces go to the book of jeremiah and we'll look at chapter 23 and then we'll read verse 29 chapter 23 and we will read verse 29 of jeremiah so notice right here what the word of god says right here about the bible it is a hammer notice is not my word like as a fire saith the lord and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces so notice right here that the word of god it can smash you all over the floor no one can mess with that book all right we're also going to turn to first peter chapter one first peter chapter one please and we'll look at verse 23 first peter chapter one and we will read verse 23 the word of god is also likened to a seed it is a seed because it is able to produce life and vegetation and grow in your life let's look at first peter chapter 1 verse 23 being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the word of god so notice right here it's born of incorruptable seed that should be the bible which liveth and abideth forever let's also look at james chapter 1 james chapter 1. james chapter the word of god is not only likened to seed but it is also likened to a mirror a mirror why a mirror pastor oh i'll tell you why because there's a lot of gunk in you that you never saw before how many people have looked themselves up in the mirror and realized how dirty they are sometimes people don't even know how yellow their teeth looks like until they look at the mirror but then that word of god what it does is that because it's a mirror it's going to show you all the yellow stuff that you ignored i mean i'm telling you something folks when you started watching us online when you started coming to our church when you started reading that book didn't you realize that uh there were a lot of things that you didn't know about and then when you started to hear more and more and more compare yourself from one year ago didn't you look very different back then and i mean spiritually speaking your attitude everything i mean it's so different from one year ago so i guarantee you this you look at yourself in a mirror now without looking at the bible without looking at the bible studying the bible growing in the bible you look at yourself in the mirror right now okay once you start looking at yourself in the mirror now then give it one year one year study the bible memorize the bible and then let the preaching of the bible sink in inside you and what's going to happen one year later when you look at yourself in the mirror you're going to go wow i look totally different i look more clean and if you were to look at yourself one year ago on how you look like in the mirror you're gonna go did i really look that filthy i didn't know i was that bad but not only that even right now you don't realize how wicked you are until you hear the preaching of the word of god and then like a light bulb it just clicks on your head and you realize wow i didn't realize that how rotten eye really was that's what the word of god does folks it's like a mirror it shows all the defects that you overlooked i hope you got that basically it shows you all the defects that you overlooked because you think that you got it all cleaned up with your brushing teeth with your hair with your dressing and then until you look at the mirror oops there was a spot that you missed it was a spot that you missed all right we're going to look at james chapter 1 and verse 23 the word of god says for if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like unto a man be holding his natural face in a glass for he behold it himself and go with his way and straightway forget it what manner of man he was but whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein he being not a forgetful here but a doer of the work this man shall be blessed in his deed notice right here in verse 23 if you're here but not a doer of the word of the word then what is that you're looking at yourself in a glass and you look at your natural face and you're not doing anything with the glass okay so let's also turn to jeremiah chapter 23 jeremiah chapter 23 and then jeremiah chapter 20 jeremiah chapter 20. so jeremiah 23 and jeremiah chapter 20. all right we're going to look at another case right here it is fire that word of god don't burn your heart i think there's something wrong with you i'll tell you what even lost people feel it i mean when that preaching gets at them on the streets oh they don't like that verse they get under conviction they hate it when their sin is preached against it's a fire jeremiah chapter 23 and then we're going to look at verse 29 and we saw that verse before but did you notice the second half all right let's start off with jeremiah 23 then we'll jump to chapter 20. notice the word of god says is not my word like as a what fire it burns now go to jeremiah chapter 20. and we will read verse 9 but his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones i don't know about you folks but when i get tired and bogged down and i just probably might say you know i just don't feel like shouting i just don't feel like praising the lord i don't feel like so many but man when i hear that word of god being preached you can't shut me up after that when i hear that word of god i'm just going to jump out of my seat i'm going to go i can't take it anymore i can't stay backslidden anymore i can't be quiet anymore that's what happened with jeremiah he said i will not make mention of the name of the lord but he wasn't soon long to last to be silent because that word of god just kept burning and he just felt like preaching i'll tell you what man there are times that in my own weakness and in my flesh i felt like quitting the ministry quitting on preaching and teaching but then i just told myself can you imagine man that for one month you don't preach can you imagine if for six months you haven't preached or taught something how would you feel and i go man i can't imagine life like that i got to preach i gotta teach because that word burns in my heart you try snot street preaching for one month let's try doing that you probably say pastor i can't wait anymore i'm going to preach out on the streets by myself if you're not going to do it all right let's also turn to psalms chapter 119 and verse 105 psalms chapter 119 and we'll look at verse 105. another thing that the bible is likened to is that it is likened to a lamp it is likened to a lamp turn to psalms chapter 119 and verse 105 very good verse it says thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path so notice that the bible it symbolizes lamp because it guides you in every step that you go that way you don't bump across the darkness get yourself hurt and into trouble so that word of god is a lamp that guides every step in your path let's also look at first peter chapter 2 first peter chapter 2. the bible is also likened to milk it is likened to milk we're going to look at first peter chapter 2 and we will read verse 2 first peter chapter 2 and verse 2. so we're going to see right here that it is also likened to food so we see an example right here how it's likened to food it's milk it's milk i'm going to tell you something folks there's a lot of people who are spiritually malnourished can i add this too you can watch as many stuff as you can on youtube and on the internet and you are starving to death you are spiritually malnourished you might say why do you say that you might say that out of arrogance and pride because let me ask you this when's the last time you went through that bible at least one time did you ever go through that bible yet and you know all this stuff about nephilim flat earth aliens ufos a pyramid ladder and then mandela effect yada yada yada and you know bible you think after that that's not bible folks when's the last time you went through that book even one time who's the one being spiritually a babe see god he wants you to get off that internet and get you into the word he wants you to do that now don't get me wrong the internet has done a lot of good in getting uh some of you getting saved some of you converted to bible believing truth and even knowing about the bible but here's the thing now that it opened the door for you to know about the bible you gotta get into the bible now now you gotta spend time off of the internet and get your nose in the book don't look at facebook get your face in that book amen that's what it should be all right we're going to look at first peter chapter 2 verse 2. as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby not only that hebrews chapter 5 verse 12 through 14 hebrews 5 12-14 shows that these people they have to be growing in their milk and you'll also see in the bible that it can be likened to meat as well so it's food it's food your bible is symbolized as food so alvin douglas he writes here the word of god convicts breaks regenerates reveals consumes illuminates and nourishes the individual how so because it goes through all those seven symbols that's why it convicts let's see right here it convicts it breaks it regenerates it reveals it consumes it illuminates and it nourishes the individual how appropriate is our bible how appropriate is our word of god okay so let's look at seven reasons for preaching the word of god okay i might go on a little sermon spree right here all right seven reasons why you should preach on the word of god well why should i preach on the word of god well i'm going to tell you something why you should preach on that word of god because one you would have gotten saved had it not been for that book two you wouldn't know that christianity is real you want to have any evidence of christianity if it weren't for that book why can you believe that the koran uh islam hinduism catholic a mormonism evolution atheism all of those beliefs are wrong not only that how can you tell that christian churches are not deceiving you with wrong doctrine there's so many christian churches but they teach wrong doctrine how can you tell without the word of god the word of god is on the most important things in your life it is very important that you have that book because that book is going to help you so many times that's why it is very salient to preach on the word of god that book is that important it saved your soul it saved your life it is the evidence of our faith and your faith okay so let's cover these seven reasons why we should preach the word of god so let's first turn to mark chapter two and verse two shall we so let's first turn to mark chapter two and verse two let's talk about seven reasons why we preach the word of god i'm sure you can think of so many reasons already without me mentioning it let's look at seven reasons first of all you got to realize that jesus faced the multitude and made a tremendous decision and you know what his decision was it was to preach the word of god that's how much jesus realized it was important look at mark chapter two and we will read verse two as soon as whoa my fingers are slippery here let's jump over here and straightway many were gathered together in so much that there was no room to receive them no not so much as about the door so you'll notice right here there were so many people cramming in they're about to cram in and then what did jesus do he preached the word unto them it's that important it's that important because when you face the multitude and you get so many people around you how can you shut your mouth and not preach a verse on the street how can you shut your mouth when there are so many people parading with their billboard signs with their street signs proclaiming their quote-unquote equal rights their feminist movement their homosexuality movement gay pride parade yada yada yada and who to vote for the presidency and we got christians who just shut their mouth when they see that multitude but jesus christ he couldn't keep his mouth shut when he saw the multitude he preached the word of god i can't help it folks you can't stop me when i'm on that street corner i'm going to preach that word of god when i see that multitude also going to go to isaiah chapter 40 verse 8 isaiah chapter 40 verse 8 we are sent not to preach a new church but christ as he is revealed in the bible we on we insist on preaching the bible how so because it endures for time and eternity that book's the most important thing in your life that's why it's very important that when you street preach you should preach the bible you should preach verses you can't just uh pull up clever gifts and however way you want that can persuade people you got to preach that word that bible is the thing that lasts for all time and eternity not human logical reasoning that's why it's very important for you that when you street preach quote verses i really believe in quoting verses when you preach not pulling up gimmicks and then doing shock tactics acting like a jerk now don't get me wrong there are people who don't understand the verses that you're saying so you're going to have to explain it to them but here's the thing how can you explain it to them without the authority you can't explain something convince some someone without an authoritative source if i taught you just everything that i had in my own knowledge but i didn't show you a single verse how can you believe me see that i'm without authority professors even when they teach at school how can they yada yada spit out everything in their mouth without documented authoritative sources that's why it's important when you street preach quote a verse quote a verse you need authority to back you up and then after that you got you quoted the authority you explain the people what the authority said not what you said that's how it works in street preaching the grass wizard and the flower fadeth but the word of our god shall stand forever see that grass is like into human nature so human nature with all your human wordings it just fades away and withers it dies but the word of god it endures forever so don't use human logic and reasoning when you preach use the word of god folks all right conviction of sins comes through the preaching of the word of god go to acts chapter 2 verse 14-37 acts chapter 2 verses 14-37 you gotta understand folks that conviction of sins comes through the preaching of the word of god all right so since this is quite a passage i'm not gonna read everything right here but reason number one conviction of sin how can you convict people of sin tell them it's wrong if you don't have the bible to tell them that it's wrong everybody's saying you're wrong about this you're wrong about that these liberals are pointing their fingers at you saying don't judge me you don't have the right to judge they're right guess what they're right i don't have the right to judge them but that book has the right to judge them and when i quote that book that book has every right to judge them and they have no right to judge that book on when it convicts their sin let's look at we won't turn over there but you'll notice from verses 14-37 peter when he preached his sermon he quoted nine verses uh out of 23 are quotations from the old testament and when he was uh quoting these verses in the in acts chapter 2 verses 14-37 nine of them were from the old testament and you know what the bible says at the very end of those verses the people's hearts were pricked if the very first start of the church required the word of god to be preached you better preach with the word of god too let's look at romans chapter 10 verse 17 romans chapter 10 verse 17. you know why it's a requirement of our faith how can we have evidence that what we believe in is right if we don't have evidence you know why i believe here let me tell you something you know why i can even believe something weird like ufos something crazy like ufo how can you say that well there are pictures there are videos and there are eyewitnesses stuff like that hey man you can go back and forth with the scientific community too there are scientists who who do who can support this ufo stuff believe it or not there are but you know what scientific community is if you study science they argue back and forth back and forth back and forth hey how do you know jesus is god that can be made up like the liberal said from people throughout the centuries and they just deified jesus when jesus was merely a man and he didn't intend to say that he is god i mean the muslims even said where did jesus declare himself to be god show me a verse he did not specifically say he is god how can you believe that without the word of god the romans chapter 10 and verse 17 the bible says so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the what word of god all right not only that it's your cleansing it's your cleansing go to second corinthians chapter 7 and verse 1. second corinthians chapter 7 and we will read verse 1. notice right here that the word of god is required because it cleans you up you know what can clean you up right now you that word of god it washes you you might say how so what do you mean how so it shows me you probably didn't read your bible when's the last time that you set aside your day stopped with your sin and the dirty stuff you're watching on television and in your ear right now with that music when's the last time that you stopped when you started to get away from the filthiness of the world the society and the people around you who take the name of god in vain and just went in a solitary place and opened that book and spent and i guarantee you this you can't go more than 30 minutes without reading that bible and you feel like things are getting filtered out you're feeling like the gunk is getting cleaned off finally that your mind is finally getting some kind of cleanup it's that word of god man in corinthians chapter 7 verse 1 having therefore these promises dearly beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of god notice this is having therefore these promises based on these promises the filthiness of our flesh is cleansed up and while those promises those promises are found by the word of god but not only that you'll also realize that the bible says that at the book of john sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth ephesians chapter 5 sanctifying themselves with the washing of the water by the word by the word the walk the word of god cleans you up all right assurance also comes from the word of god assurance that word of god assures you you are saved well how do i know i'm saying because the bible says so the bible says so first john chapter 5 verse 13 i'm just going to read it these things have i written unto you that believe on the name of the son of god that ye may know that he have eternal life and that he may believe on the name of the son of god uh the bible shows also that it's comfort its comfort first thessalonians chapter 4 and verse 18 first thessalonians chapter 4 and verse 18. the bible says wherefore comfort one another with these words with these words the word of god gives you comfort truth also comes from the word of god truth also comes from the word of god that can be found at acts chapter 17 and verse 11 acts chapter 17 and verse 11 the word of god reads right here i'll just read it these were more noble than those in thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mine and searched the scriptures daily whether those things were so see they were testing the truth of it the new birth that's how you got saved i think that's the most important thing is that it saved your soul from hell then you birth that's why it's important to preach from the word of god that's founded at the book of first peter chapter 1 and verse 23 and we read that verse before being born again not of corruptable seed but of incorruptible by the word of god which liveth and abideth forever seven reasons why some do not read the word of god oh can you think of more than seven probably all right let's base this off of jeremiah chapter 15 and verse 16. jeremiah chapter 15 and verse 16 do not read the bible why do people seven read seven reasons why people do not read the word of god jeremiah chapter 15 and verse 16. it is the wickedness and the ignorance of people that's what you got to realize we live in a day of a wicked age thy words were found and i did eat them and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart for i am called by thy name o lord god of hosts so you'll notice right here that the bible should be something that we should find we should eat it should be the joy in rejoicing but the world's reaction to this is the total opposite and it's one ignorant of its truth one is that they are ignorant of its truths what these people who are going to hell do is that they ignore genesis 1 1 god created the whole world they think that evolution created it uh they do not believe it when jesus said i'm the only way to heaven they're ignorant of its truth and this even includes some of the people watching online even the deep doctrines like ufos you know why people don't believe in ufos they don't believe that book ignorance of its truth why don't people believe in dispensationalism ignorant of its truth see all of that is based on the bible another thing is that it's already eaten feeding on ashes it's already eaten it's feeding on ashes you might say what do you mean by that preacher well the bible shows that in isaiah chapter 44 and verse 20 that it shows right here that there are people who are feeding on the wrong kind of things they feed on ashes feed on things that give them a stomach ache something that's corruptable something that is totally messed up and bogus they're feeding on politics today how many times have they watched cnn fox news msnbc and all that kind of stuff how many of them have been feeding on comic after comic and how many people have been feeding on online youtube facebook twitter can i go on and on and on they're feeding on the ashes and they're not feeding on the word of god another thing is sickness another thing is sickness that's the another reason why people do not read the word of god i'm too sick so i can't read the bible no that's not what i meant a sin sick soul has no appetite for the word of god have you ever seen a sick person being hungry to eat a sincere person has no appetite for the word of god how many sick people we have walking in our world especially in san francisco bay area a bunch of sick people condoning this all kind of liberal nonsense is religious toleration and rainbow sexual identity yada yada sick people see they have no appetite for the word of god not only that they're lunching between meals see that's why it shows they're not hungry that's why they have no hunger for the word of god they're living in the light frivolous non-essential things in life that's why they have no hunger of the word of god they're satiating their hunger on the things of this world you try eating a lot of chocolate and candy see if you can be hungry after that and eating a lot of that chocolate and candy is not good for your health either that's what this world is doing not only that the bulk lacks flavor yep that's right it doesn't suit your taste bud you don't like it when the bible says that homosexuality is an abomination you don't like it when the bible says rightly dividing the word of truth that there is dispensationalism you anti-semites don't like it when the bible says that god has preserved his nation of israel and i mean physical jews you don't like it when the bible talks about a genesis gap or even deep doctrines like ufos all right i'm not i'm not trying to split the body of christ all right don't get mad at me please but this is just something where you gotta understand sometimes people the reason why they don't they don't agree with the doctrine you teach is because it doesn't suit their flavor that's right that's ultimately one thing i realized when talking to people not because they believe in the bible i mean they do but the thing is is that they don't trust in every word in the right doctrine because it doesn't when it comes to not suiting their taste bud then they're going to disagree that part of the bible and think it and think it goes to a different interpretation all right uh the book is too sweet the book is too sweet some you might say how is it too sweet well the word of god actually can show that in revelation chapter 10 verse 8 through 10 the book was sweet as honey in the mouth and you got to realize that some people think that the bible is only for the sick the aged the dying too sweet and sentimental for practical healthy people see rich people say no i don't need the bible i already got it made you know that book is a crutch it's a sweet thing for people who who need it but not me you know i'm too good for the book but those people like atheists would say what about christianity and the bible it's like a crutch it's like a sweet thing that appeases the mind of frivolous weak-minded individuals they'll say see too proud too arrogant the book is not only too sweet but it's too bitter it's too bitter you got to realize that i mean there's something in that book that just makes you feel in the middle of street preaching in the middle of when pastor preaches something from the bible did you ever sense that feeling before that feeling yeah that's why people don't come back don't come back to our church you know why our restaurant serves bitter food so we always chase away people but joel stein's church always gives out free candy for everybody and i mean literally too they just get out free see that's the thing now there are seven points you should remember in uh reading the bible so i'm not going to write them down but i want you to write these stuff down if you don't have it the paper sheet for it if you do have the book then you can look through it but there are seven points to remember when you read the bible you got to read it lovingly why because the bible is the word of my savior to me if you had a boyfriend or if you had a girlfriend or if you have a wife you have a husband who truly loved and cared for you and the only way they can communicate is through that letter that they wrote to you how would you treat that letter and and where's your love letter i'll tell you where it's been it's right underneath your tv guide magazine it's underneath your computer screen your computer screen is elevated above the word of god that's more often on your desk than the bible see you watch too much youtube i'm not kidding you you watch too much youtube you look too much of facebook man you look too much of that stuff read it reverently you got to realize that this book is a holy book it's not something that you should leave it on a on the mat of your doorstep you should drop it on the ground oh it's just a book some book man you know how much blood was shed for it do you know how many millions of dollars this book should cost through manuscript evidence you gotta free for your hand man you don't treat that book with reverence i mean don't you treat the name of jesus with reverence that you could get stoned to death isn't his word magnified above his own name and you don't think that you should treat that book reverently read it prayerfully read it prayerfully why should you read it prayerfully the bible is god's message to me to my own heart and life that's why when i read it it's the same thing that i'm talking to god at the same time read it meditatively you got to meditate on the word of god be like isaac at the old time in the bible who just meditated on the word of god and i'm not talking about yoga where they're focusing on some kind of image or a shoelace or something like that or emptying themselves till they focus on one particular thing you know god wants you to meditate he wants you to focus on every single word in that book because your mind always wanders because it's a television it's a stupid moronic television mind where you need a screen to always flip five seconds the pixel is going super fast and you needed hd quality as so that is the mindset of wicked people today man you gotta you gotta be focusing on that word why are you preaching so hard pastor because i'm living in that tv millennial generation and i know the kind of fleshy feeling that i can be prone to go through so when i'm preaching i'm preaching at myself too read us systematically why read right through the bible not just selected portions a lot of people just pick and choose you gotta read it through read it through because sometimes that word can speak to you rather than you deliberately finding the word to speak to you another thing is that you gotta read it resolutely resolutely in other words you gotta obey it to the fullest and be resolved when you read that word read it daily read it daily and i like what the author wrote right here not just on sundays but every day of your life read a portion yeah boy folks when's the last time you read your bible and please don't say sunday church service please don't say right now read it daily all right your homework assignment we're going to be covering theology i will be posting your homework assignment online heavenly father thank you so much for the truth of thy word dismiss us now with your blessing bless the next service in jesus name we pray amen out of all the wrong doctrines that's happening in our day and age at the last days of the church as the apocalypse is coming even closer the point of all this friend is that you won't be even able to grow in knowledge of the truth in bible believing truth until you get saved first the most important question you have to ask yourself after watching all this is if you were to die today are you a hundred percent sure that you're going to go to heaven perhaps one of these wrong doctrines have affected you and you had the improper way of salvation as you have seen before the way to get saved is very simple it's only simply salvation by grace alone without works through the lord jesus christ in this christian day and age if you're not sure that you can go to heaven after you die it's very simple to get saved first of all you have to understand that because of sin god is a holy god and he cannot even allow one percent of sin into heaven so he has to judge sin with the burning hell so it is very important that you got to realize how serious sin is and you must repent you might say well then i guess i have to clean up all my sins i guess i have to go to church i guess i have to get baptized i have to i have to be a good person no my friend good works can never save you jesus is god who died buried and resurrected so that he can pay all the sins for you you don't have to pay a single sin for yourself so all you have to do as a repentant sinner is turn to what he did on the cross alone for your salvation you might say well pastor i do believe only on what jesus did on the cross to save me that's great then all you have to do is just say that to the lord you might say well preacher i haven't prayed much before in my life i don't know really how to say it to god can you help me out sure you could say it this way dear god i know i'm a sinner as i repent i put my faith that jesus is god and that he died buried and resurrected so that his blood can wash away my sins i put my faith in that alone to save me not my good works in jesus name i pray amen congratulations my friend if you meant it with all your heart that you put your faith only on what jesus did on the cross through his blood to save you then you are saved it's that simple my friend now my friend it is important to grow in bible believing truth you now know the truth what are you going to do about it as the apocalypse comes even
