The Discipline Of God's Word
Jimmy Evans
INTRODUCTION: It would be difficult to decide between prayer and study of God's Word as to which one is more important. Both of these disciplines are critical in establishing and maintaining an intimate personal relationship with God.

Luke 2:47 - At the age of twelve, Jesus was aggressively learning the Scriptures.
Luke 4 - The basis for Jesus' victory over Satan was His knowledge and ry of Scripture.
Mark 12:34 - Jesus' understanding of the Scriptures gave Him a basis of true authority in teaching the people as well as the ability to detect and refute false religions.

Living - you read it and it reads you - powerful in our lives!
The Power of: spiritual surgery - standard of truth and total security!
II Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and train ...
