Going All In | Bring the Heat | Shawndra Lucas

What are you investing in today? This weekend Shawndra Lucas continued our BRING THE HEAT series with a message about the value of God’s word in our lives.2 Timothy 3:16-17All 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.The Apostle Paul is telling Timothy that devoting ourselves to the study of scripture is an investment that will pay big dividends.1) God’s word corrects us.God’s word is the necessary voice in our lives to correct us. It doesn’t matter how long ago or how little, getting things right matters.Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭23‬-‭242) God’s word conditions us.Conditioning helps us to do what’s right even when we are tired or weary. It is the development of godly reflexes and reactions.“A cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted.”Amy Carmichael 3) God’s word completes us.The Bible gives us a complete picture of every part of our growth and development in Christ, ensuring that we lack nothing!For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12
