The Bible and Truth
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be shamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth," 2nd Timothy 2:15.
It's an amazing thing that the Bible has all the answers one needs to serve the Lord. You don't have to guess. Further, His service has been SWEET AND HAPPY, all the way from 1959, when I trusted Jesus and was saved in the Alisal Baptist Church of Salinas, Ca. The Alisal church is still in business, worshipping the Lord, with Elder Dewayne Harris, currently serving as Pastor. However, you do have to listen, follow, study and move where ever the Lord calls. Sometimes the move is not physical, either. So, here's the key, keep your faith active. Church service is so important. Obeying is more than trusting Jesus, back then; even being baptized. He ever lives and His fellowship is always ongoing and ever, as well.
Thus, one of my favorite passages from God's Holy Bible is presented HERE to serve as THE TRUTH needed for service. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. It is profitable for TEACHING, REPROOF, CORRECTION, for TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; (now, the reason) THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE EQUIPPED FOR ALL GOOD WORK," Paul's letter to Timothy, found in 2nd Timothy 3:16 and 17.
