The Lord Speaks (Part 3)

by David Chadwell

Some study in search of correct doctrine.  They want to know which teachings are right and which teachings are wrong.  While such a search is proper, unfortunately, it is the only reason they search.
Some study to grasp God's purpose.  They have studied enough to know God has a purpose.  They want to understand God's purpose better.

"The Lord Speaks" (Part 2)

by David Chadwell

God's word, the Bible, repeatedly declares itself to be "alive."
It is not a dead book with a dead message from dead men.  It is the source of spiritual truth that frees, sanctifies, and purifies.  Regardless of how alive it is, how much power it has, or how it can bless, it cannot and will not significantly bless a person if he or she does not study it.

"The Lord Speaks" (Part 1)

by David Chadwell

God always has communicated His desires in a manner that the listener and seeker could understand. In times past, there have been occasions when God communicated directly with individuals or bodies of people. For example, God spoke directly to heads of households with such people as Adam, Noah, and Abraham.
