Check out this reflection from Erik Raymond about the Word of God:
Because it is God’s word, it is an undefeatable word. The Bible has all the essentials of the life and power of God to do his work! Isaiah says that the word of God does not return void; it does his work, powerfully so. The Word of God is powerful.
Just think with me about a couple of implications here:
From the standpoint of your own sanctification or spiritual growth, you need this book every single day. You need to read it, meditate on it, memorize it, and delight in it. You need it preached each Lord’s Day and you need it singing in your head all day long. It is a powerful book.
Erik goes on to give further implications for evangelism and apologetics. Sometimes we’re so careful to defend the Bible that we fail to unleash its power in people’s lives. I say, let ‘er rip.
