TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

One of the real problems in the lives of many people today is the tendency to read what God says in scripture and quietly assume that it might not fully apply to them. That is a form of pride and rebellion, even when it does not feel that way, and it leads people to treat God’s word as a set of suggestions rather than the words of the Creator of the universe.

God is full of love, joy, peace, and blessing, and he genuinely wants those things for every person. At the same time, when he says not to do something, he means it completely and without exception. He does not make idle statements, he does not play games, and he will not overlook what he has clearly forbidden. Taking God at his word in every part of life is not a burden; it is actually the path to everything he has promised.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

Matthew 24:35
