God's Word Must Be Kept Holy And Set Apart

"The words of the Lord

are pure words;

As silver tried

in a furnace on the earth,

refined seven times."

Psalm 12:6 (NASB)

The Word of God is pure. It is perfect. It represents God and all He is. The Word of God is holy and sacred.

But is our modern Christian culture defiling His Word? People rarely take their physical Bibles to church anymore. Instead, they leave them at home to collect dust, sometimes in a forgotten location, sometimes displayed righteously on the coffee table for all to see. They seldom pick them up and open them. They go to church, take their cell phones, and leave their Bibles behind.

It is much easier, more convenient, and demonstrates a greater degree of technological sophistication to read God's Word from our laptops, tablets, cell phones, and projector screens. However, we need to decide if we are dishonouring the purity of God's Word for the sake of convenience and display. The Internet is used for so much evil. It tempts many Christians to stray from God's commands. Is it right to combine God's Word with something so impure?

As God-honouring Christians, we need to be very careful that His Word is always kept holy and set apart from worldly things.
