IT REALLY IS PERSONAL

IT REALLY IS PERSONAL                                                                                                 JEREMIAH 11-12

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

The Bible really is a personal book. The Person who inspired it is God, the persons to whom the Holy Spirit moved to write it found it personal and the recipients find it personal. It is personal but it’s not supposed to be private. It’s supposed to be opened & obeyed, studied & shared, heard & heeded, printed & proclaimed, accepted and acclaimed, read from cover to cover, believed from beginning to end & lived from second birth to last breath. It really is personal.

Jeremiah’s 4^th message covers chapters 11 and 12 of the book that carries his name. There we find:
