2 Peter 1:20-21
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

It is written in Psalm 119:89 that God's word is settled forever in heaven. It cannot, or should not, be changed to make it more like the culture of the day, to make it less challenging to our flesh. Or as so often is the case today, to make it 'more understandable' and comfortable to modern readers! Those readers may understand what man is saying and miss entirely what God is saying!

We were given the Word, and called through the gospel, so that we would gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ {2Th.2:24} and that we would become partakers of the divine nature. {2Pt.1:4} It is worth the effort to trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.” {Prov.3:5}

We are also called, as we so often note at the end of many of these little messages, to test all things {1Thes.5:21} and to do so by the Word of God. That is exactly what the Bereans did when Paul and Silas preached to them in their synagogue: “Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.” {Acts 17:11} That is a great model for us today!

There is a growing darkness in the world all around us evidenced by the news every day. The promise of the Lord is to supply all of our needs through His riches in glory in Christ Jesus {Php.4:19} and He has surely done that as David noted so long ago: God’s word is a lamp unto our feet and a light to our path! {Ps.119:105 Unfortunately, too many people today are preaching and teaching what they wish God had said rather than what He actually did say. They are tickling peoples ears as they forsake sound doctrine. {2Tim.4:3-4}

Many today are often being so bold as to rewrite Scriptures changing what God actually spoke through the law, the prophets, the apostles, and even the Lord Himself! They are totally ignoring the warning “I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.” {Rev.22:18-19}
 
As the apostle Paul wrote, we have been instructed to be ‘holding fast to the word of life’ {Php.2:16}—the Word that will keep you safe and secure through the storms of life. It brings hope as an anchor of our souls. {Heb.6:19} We are to be on guard, standing firm in the faith. {1Cor.16:13)

Peter warned about the enemy, that one who is a liar by nature and the father of lies starting way back in the Garden:

“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
 
GOD’S WORD IS THE ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION
