I look around at my fellow Christians and see men and women who appear to be doing just fine. They are not sickly. They are not malnourished. They are not picking through trash for scraps of food. Yet they are clearly lacking something. They are hungry, and don't even know it.
"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD,
"That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the LORD".
A twenty-two minute sermon, once a week, isn't going to cut it, brothers and sisters. Especially when that sermon is more about living well than it is about truly understanding Scripture. Each of us ... without exception ... needs to study God's word. We need to know what He really means in every verse.
There is great urgency to this, fellow believers. The time is running short. We must know who God really is so that we can distinguish Him from the enemy. We must know who God is so that we can obey and worship Him. And we must know who God is by what He tells us about Himself.
The Lord desires to reveal Himself to us, to be intimate with us. He speaks to His people. Read and study... so that you may listen.
Be encouraged, Jose
