In a world full of opinion--that which is popular and that which is not, that which can shift like the changing of the wind--it can sometimes be hard to discern where to stand on the issues of life. This past weekend, in one of the best sermons I've ever heard--clearly inspired by the Holy Spirit--our pastor reminded us that we need not lean on any opinion. In all matters, we must know where to look. Not what does our neighbor say, or our family say or our husband say or even what does our pastor say, but rather what does Jesus say?
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY?
Where can we find the answers on all the issues of our lives--of today and tomorrow and forevermore? The Bible, dear friend. We must look no further than the Word of God.

From the beginning of my Reformation I have asked God to send me neither dreams, nor visions, nor angels, but to give me the right understanding of His Word, the Holy Scriptures; for as long as I have God's Word, I know that I am walking in His way and that I shall not fall into any error or delusion.
Martin Luther
