I’m sitting in front of my computer keyboard pondering which topic running through my head is the right one to write about? Taking heed to the message in God’s Word is a “must do”. I write this here to emphasize the critical side of working with man. When I was in education we learned what we “must” teach as critical to learning how to read and how to grow in math, etc. We would separate the must do’s from the may do’s. The scripture I read in part this morning was really speaking loudly to me. It comes from the 2nd chapter of I Corinthians. Paul was talking to the listeners telling them to be very careful what they spoke as truths. What we say will be measured one day. It will be placed upon the foundation of God’s Word and tested with fire. We, the speaker, will be saved, but those led astray may be lost. This is a very sobering message and one I want to be very conscious regarding.

It is so important to reinforce the source of the message we share. God Almighty is our foundation and is demonstrated by His Son Jesus who was given to us for eternal reason–man cannot come to God on his own. We will fail every time. Listeners need to be pointed to the Cross of Christ and shown the importance of taking any message heard from man to Christ. This has to be part of our message to man and show them how we do this ourselves. We plant seeds, we water plants, but God Himself is the very substance of each one He created. God’s Word is a “must do” and keeping folks pointed to Him.
