" A Two Edged Sword Is A Dangerous Weapon "

Contemporary Christians seem to lack confidence in the ability of the
Word of God to penetrate sin hardened hearts.

One of the greatest reasons given for so much of the 'nonsense' that has
made our churches so superficial is the idea that if we first 'entertain' people
and make them 'comfortable', they will be more open to the gospel.

If we can convince them that our message posses  'no threat'  to their way of
life and that they have nothing to fear from Christ,
perhaps maybe then we can break through that hard exterior to reach them.

What a BIG MISTAKE that is........................

The wording of (Hebrews 4:12) is deliberately both vivid and violent:
" The word of God is......sharper than any two - edged sword, piercing to the
division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow."

My point is to show the resemblance of a Two Edged Sword and The Word of God.

A two edged sword is a particularly very dangerous weapon but the verse says
that Scripture is even sharper and more effective than that.

Like a two edged sword, it has no dull side there is nothing so hard that this blade
can not pierce it.
Even in the hands of of the most unskilled swordsman, it is capable of inflicting
mortal wounds to our human pride and our self-righteousness.

Lets bring back the truth of the Word of God the Two Edged Sword !!!

No person, plan, or scheme can penetrate the human heart like the Word
of God alone can do.

Its not fancy lights, puppets, smoke and mirrors, or anything any human can
do to penetrate and soften the human heart the way the Word of God and the
Holy Spirit alone can.
