child to grow into a responsible<br />
citizen in society. The scripture<br />
explains in Proverbs the<br />
importance of such discipline.<br />
The scripture also explains how<br />
relationships are important and<br />
how we should treat each other.<br />
Relationships between husband<br />
and wife, children and parents,<br />
authority and employees are<br />
also explained, and instruction<br />
given as to how each should<br />
esteem the other. Instruction is<br />
also given about church, worship<br />
and what pleases God.<br />
The Word of God is a treasure<br />
house of instruction which provides<br />
insight and wisdom to the<br />
seeker. However, in our society,<br />
many people feel the Bible is<br />
out-dated and its instruction is no<br />
longer needed. This could not be<br />
further from the truth. More than<br />
ever scripture is needed in our<br />
homes, our churches, and in the<br />
work place. Ask any missionary<br />
in the field and they will tell you<br />
the importance of the scripture in<br />
their lives. Ask the parent whose<br />
child has strayed, and they will<br />
tell you of the precious promises<br />
they cling to. Ask the widow or<br />
widower the comfort God’s word<br />
brings on the lonely nights they<br />
now spend without that loved<br />
one by their side, and what<br />
about the Pastor who preaches<br />
from God’s word constantly to<br />
instruct his flock on daily living.<br />
All these and more have down<br />
through the years given witness<br />
to the strength acquired by walking<br />
with God on a daily basis.<br />
God’s Word is more than just a<br />
book; it is the very heart of God<br />
and His plan for humanity. God’s<br />
Word provides instruction about<br />
salvation through His Son Jesus<br />
(John 3:16). The Old Testament<br />
reminds us today that God is<br />
a just God and judges our sin.<br />
The New Testament reminds us<br />
of God’s grace through Christ<br />
Jesus and how we can be forgiven<br />
of our sins. Throughout the<br />
scriptures we find love, mercy,<br />
forgiveness, comfort, guidance<br />
and grace. So is the scripture<br />
out-dated? Can the word of<br />
God still find a place in our lives<br />
today? Jesus said it this way:<br />
“In the beginning was the Word,<br />
and the Word was with God,<br />
and the Word was God… In the<br />
beginning was the Word, and<br />
the Word was with God, and the<br />
Word was God” (John 1:1, 14).
