I was at the café having breakfast with some of my buddies. They were talking about different types of handguns, different calibers of ammo, and how effective they are at different ranges. As they were talking, I was sitting there thinking how ignorant I am about that topic. I can say I have a 22 cal. handgun and a 22 cal. semi-automatic rifle, but that’s about it. I am so old the last weapon I disassembled and reassembled was the M1 rifle. Now if they want to talk about the Bible, Christian counseling, or oil painting I would be a much better source of information.
Regardless of what topics we may be knowledgeable about, there is one topic we all need to be well versed in, and that is God’s Word. I was at a men’s meeting once and asked the question, "How many of you can give me some stats about Alabama or Auburn football?". There was a myriad of responses about the team, their record, how many championships, and the like. I then asked them how many can quote three Scripture verses. Not one single hand was raised. I said guys, knowing about football will not save the world, but the gospel will. Let’s make the Word of God our priority. Knowing about guns and football is okay, but knowing God’s Word is absolutely necessary.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
