The Word Is Alive

I heard a song on a friend's iPod this summer... As I listened to the words of the chorus, I felt the Spirit within me saying, "Agreed!"

Tonight, I bought the CD and have been playing the song over and over again. Take a moment to read the words of this song...

THE WORD IS ALIVE
by Casting Crowns

Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of men ~ Chose to make Himself known and show us the way back to Him ~ Speaking wisdom and truth into the hearts of peasants and kings ~ He began to unveil the Word that would change the course of all things ~ With eyes wide open, all would see ~ The Word is alive ~ And it cuts like a sword through the darkness ~ With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid ~ Breathing life into all who believe ~ The Word is alive ~ And the world and its glories will fade ~ But His truth, it will not pass away ~ It remains yesterday and forever the same ~ The Word is alive ~ Simple strokes on a page ~ Eternity's secrets revealed, carried on from age to age ~ It speaks Truth to us even still ~ And as the rain falls from Heaven, feeds the earth before it returns ~ Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve ~ With eyes wide open, let us see ~ The Word is alive ~ His Word is alive

"The Bible was inscribed over a period of 2000 years, in times of war and in days of peace, by kings, physicians, tax-collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds. The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive could have been produced by such a diverse crowd over a period of time which staggers the imagination. Jesus is its great subject; our good, its design; and the glory of God is its end."
~Tony Nolan

Many of you reading this are in college. I know that you have had, and will continue to have, your faith tested. You will find that the first thing Satan would have you doubt in your life is the Authority of God's Word. Do not be fooled, our God IS the writer of the Bible and it is WITHOUT error. God's Word has endured and triumphed over many plots to destroy it and now Satan has turned his attention towards us that we might doubt it completely. In a world where we question EVERYTHING, we cannot afford to doubt the unchanging Word of God. Make your decision today: Read and follow God's Word into eternal life with Him OR ignore it until the day God proves His Word by the return of His Risen Son, Jesus Christ.
