Notes:
KEY #6: REALIZE THAT THE KEY TO THE ___________ OF GOD IS THE _____________ OF GOD.
KEY THOUGHT:
- The Bible doesn’t simply claim to communicate God’s thoughts, ideas, concepts, principles or precepts…But His very ______________!
KEY VERSES:
- Psalm 119:140
“Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.”
- Proverbs 30:5–6
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
- Psalm 12:6–7
“The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”>
- Matthew 5:17–18
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
KEY QUOTE:
“I’m a firm believer in the fact that every WORD of God is PURE (Proverbs 30:5). I believe the real POWER of the WORD of God is actually in the WORDS of God, and that my job as an expositor is just to keep my grubby little hands off ’em! My job is not to CORRECT what God said, CHANGE what He said, ALTER it, ADD TO it, TAKE AWAY FROM it, or try to IMPROVE upon it! My job is simply to expose WHAT He said, HOW He said it, WHEN He said it, WHERE He said it, WHY He said it, and to WHOM He said it. My job is to bring the FOOD of the Word of God out of God’s KITCHEN to the TABLE of God’s people exactly as He prepared it, in a timely manner, and with a gracious spirit. I am simply the WAITER… I am not the CHEF. My job isn’t to seek to be LIKED…APPRECIATED…ESTEEMED…LAUDED… APPLAUDED… or ADMIRED. My job is to make certain the Word of God is PREACHED (2 Timothy 4:2–4) and MAGNIFIED (Psalm 138:2)… so that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is EXALTED…HALLOWED…HONORED…GLORIFIED…and PRAISED. My job is not to BUILD the church, my job is to PROCLAIM the Truth, and allow the LORD to build HIS church (Matthew 16:18). And all of these realities make me cry out with Paul: ‘Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach…the unsearchable riches of Christ’ (Ephesians 3:8).”
