Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. 12 His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. 16 On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.
Why do Christians base their whole life around the Bible? Why are they so upset when it is changed to suit our current culture?
The reason is simple and non-negotiable! God himself is the Word. He is the standard to reveal truth, justice, mercy and love! He is the foundation of truth and in Him is life.
We are called to modify our lives, desires and culture totally around Him. When we proclaim the Word of God, the Holy Spirit Confirms the truth with signs following.
Mark 16.20 (NIV)
Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
NB: The word them is not in the original text. Read it without, and see the different emphasis.
