Why We will never leave the Bible on the shelf again

Why we will never leave the Bible on the shelf again… BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO “QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT” (I Thess. 5:19-20)

Quench Not the Holy Spirit… Extinguish the Spirit of God???

Quench Not the Holy Spirit… Extinguish the Spirit of God??? We can affect what the Holy Spirit produces by our attitude: “Despise not prophesyings” (I Cor. 12:10-11, 2 Pet. 1:21; Lk. 18:9, Gal. 4:14)

Quench Not the Holy Spirit… Extinguish the Spirit of God??? We can affect what the Holy Spirit produces by our attitude: “Despise not prophesyings” (I Cor. 12:10-11, 2 Pet. 1:21; Lk. 18:9, Gal. 4:14) Just as the Jews “resisted the Holy Spirit” by “persecuting and killing the prophets” (Acts 7:51- 52); we can “quench the Holy Spirit” by “despising” the “messages that come from God through the Holy Spirit”.

Quench Not the Holy Spirit… Today, the Holy Spirit’s work in revelation is preserved for us in the Bible – collection of 66 books (2 Tim. 3:16, I Cor. 14:37) It is needed “light” (Psm. 119:105)

Quench Not the Holy Spirit… Today, the Holy Spirit’s work in revelation is preserved for us in the Bible – collection of 66 books (2 Tim. 3:16, I Cor. 14:37) It is needed “light” (Psm. 119:105) Don’t “quench” the light by not reading and meditating on it on a regular basis (Psm. 119:97, Psm. 1:2) Are we not “despising” God’s revelation to us when we do not even open it to look at it?

Why we will never leave the Bible on the shelf again… BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO “QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT” (I Thess. 5:19-20) BECAUSE WE MUST CONTINUE TO “PROVE ALL THINGS” (I Thess. 5:20)

“Prove all things…” Proving the character of things by testing the things the spirits in the prophets say (I Jn. 4:1-3, 6, Jn. 16:13, I Cor. 12:10, 14:29)

“Prove all things…” Proving the character of things by testing the things the spirits in the prophets say (I Jn. 4:1-3, 6, Jn. 16:13, I Cor. 12:10, 14:29) The standard for truth is the apostles’ doctrine (Acts 2:47, Eph. 5:9-10)

“Prove all things…” Proving the character of things by testing the things the spirits in the prophets say (I Jn. 4:1-3, 6, Jn. 16:13, I Cor. 12:10, 14:29) The standard for truth is the apostles’ doctrine (Acts 2:47, Eph. 5:9-10) God’s Truth that sets things and people apart from Error (Jn. 17:17) God’s Inspired Word is where we find what is “good” (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

“Prove all things…” Proving the character of things by testing the things the spirits in the prophets say (I Jn. 4:1-3, 6, Jn. 16:13, I Cor. 12:10, 14:29) The standard for truth is the apostles’ doctrine (Acts 2:47, Eph. 5:9-10) God’s Truth that sets things and people apart from Error (Jn. 17:17) God’s Inspired Word is where we find what is “good” (2 Tim. 3:16-17) How is God’s Word your standard for proving all things if you never open it?

Why we will never leave the Bible on the shelf again… BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO “QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT” (I Thess. 5:19-20) BECAUSE WE MUST CONTINUE TO “PROVE ALL THINGS” (I Thess. 5:20) BECAUSE WE MUST CONTINUE TO “HOLD FAST TO GOOD” AND “ABSTAIN FROM EVIL”

Hold Fast to Good – Abstain from Evil… Senses exercised on God’s Standard we can know what is good and what is evil (Heb. 5:14, Lk. 3:22)

Hold Fast to Good – Abstain from Evil… Senses exercised on God’s Standard we can know what is good and what is evil (Heb. 5:14, Lk. 3:22) Strong reactions demand certainty!

Hold Fast to Good – Abstain from Evil… Senses exercised on God’s Standard we can know what is good and what is evil (Heb. 5:14, Lk. 3:22) Strong reactions demand certainty! Drunken revellings OK when it is a New Year ? (I Pet. 2:11-12, Gal. 5:21-22, I Pet. 4:1-4)

Now we know “how” God’s Word Works in the Believer… (I Thess. 2:13) The light is allowed to shine in our hearts Now we know “how” God’s Word Works in the Believer… (I Thess. 2:13) We continue to use it as our standard for testing all things We continue to grow in it to maintain strong reactions to good and evil
