His word has been translated in many languages and not all languages have direct translations from the Greek or Hebrew. But he can and does speak through language, and particularly stories. Narratives make up most of the Bible and there's something about stories that easily connect with you wherever culture you're from. It's quite amazing :)victasaurusrexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482034313493586733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955556559266514067.post-18252933643073379972016-04-12T16:08:27.247-05:002016-04-12T16:08:27.247-05:00I am so blessed we are neighbors at #TellHisStory ...I am so blessed we are neighbors at #TellHisStory today. God does speak today and I love that it is alive and active. God's word is where we find truth and it's where we learn how to live our lives. Thank you for pointing us back to God and His word today. We will always find the answers there.

We can be so easily swayed... it's all about finding the Truth in His Word-- no matter how we feel.

I, however, grew up with "all-the-feels" church, and it's hard for me to remember that just because I feel something, or hear something in my head, doesn't make it God. God's word, however, is always His. Now, I can misinterpret that if I am not careful, but God's word when rightly interpreted is right, true, perfect, and all together good. Feelings don't bring me near to God. Audible voices aren't necessary to draw me to Him. The Bible is :)The Peculiar Treasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994903702965040068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955556559266514067.post-78175198936735854002016-04-12T09:26:04.367-05:002016-04-12T09:26:04.367-05:00Just beautifully written!

I feel like it all goes back to having FAITH and listening to the quiet voice within that gets so easily muted by the everyday distractions and sounds. Loved this piece!
