The Word of God. ( Matthew 6 v 22 - 23 )

 When I lived in Belfast many places where being bombed, one of them was a Christian book shop,some of the stock was saved, and from what was saved I purchased a Bible.It had a little bit of smoke damage but it was in reasonable condition,I still have that Bible ,I don't use it now ,for its a bit worse for wear,but the fact that it survived the bombing and the fire ,reminds me how the word of God has come under attack throughout its history,it has survived ,and indeed will continue to survive.There are so called Christian churches that have hid the word of God from Gods people, saying that they were the only ones capable of interpreting the word of God.But instead of interpreting it and teaching what God said,they taught so many things that were contrary to God word. Jeremiah that wonderful man of God was one of the last prophets who prophesied before the Babylonian captivity,he had to contend with so many things.I mention one,the false prophets, they prophesied lies and dreams, deceitful inventions of their own hearts.What they taught was of no value,worthless in contrast to the word of God, CP Jeremiah 23 v 28. If your religion is not based on God's word it is worthless, not only is it worthless it is dangerous and can only lead you into a lost eternity Our Saviour said ,''And if the light you think you have is actually  darkness, how deep that darkness is.'' Matthew 6 v 23.
