Culture Of The Word | Part 2

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In this message, Duane teaches the importance of truth and cultivating a culture of the word in the life of a believer. A culture of the word reflects Jesus, honors Him and focuses on Him. This culture embodies both grace and truth without compromising either.

Duane stresses the significance of absolute truth in a world increasingly embracing relativism. He points to Jesus' words in John 18:37, where Christ declares, "For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Believers should love and seek truth while warning against rejecting God's word as the ultimate authority.

A culture of the word places high value and reverence on Scripture. It makes God's word a priority in daily life, even when it's challenging to understand or obey. This culture recognizes the Bible as a sure foundation, absolute truth, and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

God's word is "God-breathed" and profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Scripture works in believers' lives by teaching, reproving, correcting, and instructing them in righteousness. Duane reveals the remarkable prophetic accuracy of the Bible, with over 300 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in Jesus Christ, providing strong evidence of the divine inspiration and trustworthiness of Scripture.

God's word is absolute truth. Live according to its teachings and share the gospel with others. This will help embody and spread a culture of the word in a world that desperately needs it.
