God’s Word

In the Word

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God (Colossians 3:16).

Of the Word

God speaks to mankind through His Word. The Bible is God’s gift of the written Word in which the Holy Spirit shows us the plan of salvation through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Children see the importance of God’s Word when they see their parents read and meditate on it each day. Parents can establish a habit of reading God’s Word with young children and reinforce it as they grow into young adults.

As we read the Bible, the Holy Spirit makes our faith grow and mature. He helps us to use the scriptures as a guide for our life. [God’s] … word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path (Psalm 119:105).

Stretch your faith-filled parenting: Make a conscious effort to become involved in at least one Bible study at your church. Bring your family to Sunday school, vacation Bible school, and other studies of the Word of God where the Holy Spirit can increase your faith.

Walking with my Lord

Jesus Christ, You are the Word of God made flesh. Draw me to Your written Word that I may learn more of You. In Your name. Amen.
