We are again back in the paddock, looking at the real-time issue of God's "need" for us. For the first 6:59 of this episode, we celebrate our increased dialogue and our first listener donations. After the 6:59 minutes of celebration, we begin to lay the groundwork in our Biblical evidence that God does not "need" our prayers. Still, He gives us (and rewards us) the eternal, joyful privilege of service in His kingdom. We begin with our shared mandate of "rightly dividing the word of God." Paul tells us: "Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless, and leads to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:14-15 Peter agrees: "And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." Our So What? We are called to follow the noble Bereans' example, diligently study the word of God, and be discerning as we hear or read what teachers tell us. Next time we will see, Biblically, God tells us He does not "need" us. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
