Outstanding!

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.  Romans 15:14

This verse tells us that we have the God kind of Goodness living on the inside of us!  So, what is Goodness?  Webster defines goodness as: excellence (outstanding or of valuable quality, superior, first class) and virtue (moral excellence, strength, courage, valor).  Using this definition what are some ways you can show God’s goodness to those around you?

The Integrity of God’s Word = World Changes

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…  2 Timothy 3:16

All of God’s Words, all Scripture, is God-breathed.  What does this mean?  All Scripture originates from God himself! The Words of God are alive!  His Words are alive and at work, fulfilling what He has said He would do.  What are Jesus’ words doing today?  They are raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out devils, cleansing leapers, opening deaf ears, giving sight to the blind, bringing people to Jesus, changing circumstances.  The Integrity of God’s Word is changing the world!

Today's Thouhgt: How are you changing your part of the world with God's Word?

In The Beginning...

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  John 1:1-3

Jesus is the Word of God made flesh.  In Him is the complete integrity of God and the power of Life.  When Jesus speaks something, it is true.  When he said “Be Healed”, you were healed.  When He said, “Raise from the dead” the dead become alive.  When Jesus speaks, reality is.

Forever Settled

Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.  Psalm 119:89

God’s Words are eternal.  What ever He speaks becomes a forever-settled issue.  If He says it, you can be sure that it will come to pass.  The integrity of God’s word is so powerful that what we see materialized because of the Words He spoke!  (Hebrews 11:3).  

What is “Integrity”?  Integrity by definition is the adherence to a code of values, incorruptibility, soundness and completeness.  

Today's Thought: In a nutshell, the Integrity of the Word means that the Word of God is complete, unable to be corrupted and operates by a code of values that come from God himself. We can trust it and rely on it because it is forever settled through out eternity.
