“16 All Scripture is God-breathed
[given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction
[of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training
in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly
and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral
courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be
complete and proficient,
outfitted and thoroughly
equipped for every good work.” --2 Timothy 3:16-17
We believe in the infallible Word
of God. That it was God breathed to
guide us and direct our paths. The Word
of God is complete and sufficient to completely answer anything we need to know
about eternal salvation or practical wisdom concerning relationships, morality,
character, finances, and conduct. The
one requirement is obedience. We have
never sought an answer that we did not find the answer in God’s Word.
One Core Value of Compass –
finances God’s way, is the obedience of God’s Word. “If we
are not obeying God’s Word, we will be unable to accurately understand and
apply it and unable to teach others.”
We stand on that truth!
We must realize our faith in
God’s Word does not deny the reality of difficult times, circumstances even
tragedies, it declares the power of God in the face of all that can happen here
on this earth. I quote Roy Hicks, “When facing great challenges, do not permit
your lips to speak unbelieving words.” “We
cannot help what we see and hear, but our refusal to speak doubt and fear will
keep our hearts more inclined to what God can do, rather than to what we cannot
(Proverbs 30:32).”
We are to live a life
exemplifying God’s Word. We refuse to be
led astray by politics, unbelievers, and false gods. We speak with integrity who we are in Christ
Jesus. Jesus confirms that every word of
Scripture is given by God, every truth is to be held in reference, and that the
Scriptures are eternal and credible.
We grow as we model God’s Word…...Jesus was conceived by the Spirit; He
is the living Word of God. The Spirit
working within Him brought forth the fruit of good character (Luke 2:52).
To confess our faith in God’s
Word, we are saying we believe in the promises of God and humbly stand before
our God our Father; Your Word is truth, we worship You for your love, goodness,
mercy, and kindness.
Let us pray in thanksgiving for
God’s Word.
