I hate to use it, but this article is very "relevant" (I shudder when I wrote that) to us at this time. Your last 2 paragraphs were really thought provoking and encouraging because I just realized that God used Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23 to save me. I can definitely testify to the power and sharpness of God's Word and I'm glad that it is that way. Preach on brother! Great Article!

Amen. Good post. And convicting. I talked with a builder supervisor today, who knows we're Christians. He talked about the time he cussed my partner out. He then proceeded to use foul language, and then apologize, sort of, but not really. And I kept silent. He cussed again, and said, "There I go again". I said, "You know, that's between you and the Lord." It wasn't much that I said, but it was amazing how just that seemed to put him back on his heels a bit. I pray that from now on I'll share the gospel in a better, and bolder way. Thanks for this teaching. It does encourage me also. “there’s a painful process involved in regeneration.”

Amen.

It is great encouragement to me to keep preaching the Word of God in a clear way and let it do its work by the power of the Spirit. The power of God's Word is a truth that permeates Scripture. As is says in Isaiah 55:10-11 - the Word of God always accomplishes the purpose of God who sent it. Looking forward to your next post. Blessings, Steve Lamm Phil,

The two-edged sword of God's Word will do this. Bringing these words of comparison to open-heart surgery and to circumcision of the heart is very helpful.

I'm looking forward to more. And for the very reasons you gave in this article, I'm a KJV man. Nothing cuts as well. Reading or using anything else is, to me, like shaving with a banana. God Bless, Chris Phil,
