It has been well said, "A man with an argument is no match for a man with an experience." TRUTH is objective, propositional, eternal and dependable. The Lord Christ said, "Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth" (Jh 17:17), to which He was referring to the WRITTEN Word and not some alleged "voice". Could it be that you are one of those whom Paul warned Timothy about who are "Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."? (2Tim 3:7)


Isaiah 8:19-20 (KJV) And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them."


Poor king David.... what a deluded soul was he. So much a "Scripturalist" in his love for the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, that he dedicated an entire Psalm to extol its excellence and to which his whole being was dependent for truth, light and consolation. (Psa. 119)

The Anvil of God's Word

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime:
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.

"How many anvils have you had," said I,
"To wear and batter all these hammers so?"
"Just one," said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
"The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."

And so, thought I, the anvil of God's Word,
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed . . . the hammers gone.
