You Are What You Read!

Wanna walk with Jesus? Simple: Get in His Word and do it!

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3

The Bible here tells us that God will bless those who read and do His Word. While is it essential to do the Word, it is also essential to search the Word of God! How can one know to do God’s will unless He studies and knows it?

THE MOST IMPORTANT EDUCATION YOU CAN GET IS TO KNOW GOD’S WORD.

Ever heard the statement “You are what you eat”? Well this is true for physical food as it relates to the health of our bodies and and also for spiritual our health.

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

HOW can your understanding of the Almighty be maturing if you aren’t reading ALL the way through His Word – from Genesis to Revelation?

Incomplete knowledge of the Bible means incomplete knowledge of God.

Discerning Ourselves and Others

Want to discern someone? Look who they read. Examining a persons library will tell you all about them!

The same goes for local churches. If you are visiting one, go look at their bookstore. What books, authors are they selling? You will know exactly where they are spiritually by looking at their books. Today, 99% show their apostasy is revealed by whose books they carry to poison those whom they sell them to … Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyer, etc. Beware saints.

The profound message below is from a pastor of old:

Someone has said, “You are what you read.” There is more truth in this statement than fiction. Character is revealed or congealed by the nature of the literature one regularly reads. As another has said, “You are known by your reading matter.” How true!

Every civilization of history has been marked by its literature. The ancient writings of Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome as well as nations of more modern times confirm this fact. National thought is revealed in the literature a nation produces. The moral character of any nation is ascertained by the nature of its popular reading matter. On this basis, America is morally rotten. Never in the history of American literature has its publications been so saturated with obscenities, immorality, and degeneracy as the literary products of the last twenty years. The contemporary writers of our time seem to see which can produce the most salacious, perverting, and character-assassinating “Best Seller.” These sordid compositions fill the mind with filth, corrupt the heart, identify lust with love, provoke hasty marriage, hold Christianity up to ridicule, deny God, and in general curse every thing decent, moral, honorable and worth living for.

The cantankerous authors of such noxious “copy” have no regard for morals, honor, or Christian opinion. They are motivated by one obsessing passion – money. Such filching literary “ready-writers” are possessed with a warped mind, which sees no criterion but a swelling bank account. Such shriveled pinheads are completely devoid of conscience. The perverting of character, destruction of young minds, and damning of souls means nothing to them. These “Satanic Agents” are responsible for distorting the reading habits of the American public by creating an abnormal reading appetite for literature that reeks with obscenity, profanity, fantasy, immorality and prevarication. And this is not just the opinion of some “straight-laced” preacher, but also the opinion of many that rank foremost in mental and moral stature.

In the early days of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration, a survey was conducted among the American public to determine what books should go into the President’s library. “Grapes of Wrath,” a fair example of the damnable literature that is classified as a best seller, was the first choice. The Bible was second, by a narrow margin over Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.”

Are you diligently studying God’s Word daily, or, have you fallen away?
