Pastor Jeff Anderson of Grace Bible Church in Colorado Springs preaches the Word of God without compromise. In this sermon, he
emphasizes that it is much more important to read and study the Bible than it
is to read and study about the Bible. To hear this entire sermon, click here.
“…My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because they have
rejected knowledge...My people ask counsel from their wooden idols…”
…True intimacy with God and knowledge of God happens because of
knowledge of His Word. Did you know that you cannot have intimacy with God
apart from His revelation of Himself in His Word? We’re living in a day when
there’s all sorts of mysticism, and everyone’s wanting to draw close to God. They
want dreams, they want revelations, they want special “icky pooey” feelings.
They want some sort of experience that’s going on, they want to have knowledge
of God and intimacy, but they never, rarely do they want to find it in His Word…You cannot know God if you do not know the
Bible. If you don’t know His Word, if you’re not reading it, if you’re not
memorizing it, if you’re not studying it, if you’re not meditating upon it, if
you’re not giving yourself to the study of Scripture, you cannot know God. It’s
as simple as that….
…We are living in a day in which there is no knowledge of the Word
of God…we are living in a biblically illiterate day…We’re living in a day when
people do not know their Bible, and because they don’t know their Bible, it is
very clear that we do not know God…
…as a nation we have forgotten God to where the Word of God isn’t
even preached in our churches…Stop reading Christian books and start reading
the Bible. Stop going to all of your Christian book stores and just go to the
Scripture and let it permeate every part of you. Give yourself to knowing God
through knowing His Word…

I welcome your comments. However, since this is a blog rather than an open forum, I will determine what is and what is not posted. All comments, especially anonymous comments, will be scrutinized carefully. I will not post comments that contain profanity or are negative toward the Scriptures, God, Christianity in general, Christian schools, or the United States of America. I also will not post comments that are nothing more than generally uninformed or absurd opinions. In addition, I will not post comments that are totally irrelevant to the subject being discussed. Finally, I will not post comments that are commercial advertisements or advertisements for religious organizations which are in conflict with my biblical convictions.
