'All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work'. - 2 Timothy 3:16 -17 (ESV)

Start your week with reliable news!

This verse tells us that all scripture is breathed out by God. We can be certain of its authenticity because it comes from the right source, the one who told Thomas in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life”.

The word of God is the only manual for ‘training in righteousness’. It is ‘profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction’. Its purpose is ‘that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work’.

God’s word will reassure us and make us more ready to serve Him today.

 

“I have a precious book, it’s the word of God.

It’s the only book that God has giv’n.

As I read, God speaks to me,

I see Christ and Calvary.

The Wonderful Word of God.

 

Forever it will stand as the ages roll,

it’s the living and eternal Word.

It’s my guiding light each day,

and without it I would stray;

The Wonderful Word of God.

 

Dear Lord may I each day read Thy precious Word.

May I love it and obey it too.

May I grow to be like Thee.

May my friends see Christ in me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
