Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

When the Holy Bible states that Abraham heard the voice of the Lord and followed him, what does this actually mean? Does God, who the bible states is a spirit, still speak today, or are we operating under our own sense and sensibility, or is it that many of us in our various cultures and conurbations simply do not tune into his frequency?

Since the age of reason in the 18^th century, there have been many ideas about the nature of our existence. The arguments range from; ‘whether there is an intelligent designer’ or ‘is humanity here because of the changes to a single cell organism’ due to evolution.

For all of us who are followers of Jesus Christ, and are heirs to the promises made to Abraham by the eternal God, we believe Yahweh is a God who is intimately interested in our history from conception to the grave. Since this God is interested in us, we believe that He still speaks to us today. The question that is at the forefront of our thoughts is do we hear him when he speaks?

So how does God speak to us his children? We believe there are several ways God speaks to us. The first is through his words, the Holy Bible secondly, through dreams and visions and thirdly, by his Holy Spirit. The question for you today is this, by which method is he speaking to you and are you listening? Read what Peter says in his first book in chapter 4.
