Paul Tripp on the purpose of the Word of God

Posted on October 20, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 1 Comment

The ultimate purpose of the Word of God is not theological information but heart and life transformation.

Hammer and Anvil

Between the hammer and the anvil

The iron goes into the fire to be heated and then is moved to the anvil to be hammered into the desire form. The process is repeated until the smith is satisfied with the result.

Black and White

Black, White, and Grey

Did God really say that when a vow is taken, it must be fulfilled to the fullest extent of our ability?

Ring of Truth

It has the ring of truth . . .

One of the things I enjoy about reading the Bible is how real the characters are. With the exception of Daniel and Jesus, we read stories of men and women who were seriously flawed but were used by God to bring about his will for humanity.

Vision of God

Purity of heart is the means of seeing God

The Beatitude tells us that the pure in heart will see God. What does this purity look like and how will it assist vision of God? When will this vision be manifested?

Perhaps I am on my way to being a curmudgeon but I am increasingly amazed at how little common sense is displayed by those who have the desire to lead and educate us.
