 A
501(c)3 non-profit ministry,
our three-fold purpose for ministry is 1) to
introduce people to the love of God in Christ Jesus,
2) to teach the simple truths of God's Word that
give daily victory, and 3) to proclaim the Lord's
imminent return for His Bride, so we may be ready.
Founded by noted speaker and minister, Author Comans,
The Mercy Place is a source for receiving God's Word,
reflecting on His Goodness and plans for your life
and renewing your mind in Christ Jesus, so that you
are prepared for this world and eternity.

 JESUS
IS THE WORD OF GOD!
I'm troubled by something an Episcopal priest said in
defending that church's elevation to Bishop, a priest living
in what the Bible would call a sinful lifestyle. This priest
charged that the Bible was not 'culturally correct." She
then said, "We worship the God of the Bible, we don't
worship the Bible itself."
This caught my attention because I've heard this many times
from Baptist pastors. A while back, a local pastor asked my
wife: "Which is more important; that we worship the Jesus
revealed in scripture or worship the scripture that reveals
Jesus?"
I told her that this "chicken or egg" question seeks to
piously separate God and His revealed Word. Generally those
who do this are questioning the very authority of scripture
and I don't think there's one among us, be they Episcopal,
Southern Baptist or anyone else who is sharp enough to
divide God and His Word.
Although the Bible is full of scripture that reminds us that
God alone is worthy of our worship and praise; have you
considered:
Psalm 56:4; "In God I will praise His Word,...
Psalm 56:10; "In God I will praise His Word; in the Lord I
will praise His Word."
Psalm 138:2; "...thou hast magnified thy word above all thy
name."
Certainly John 1:1 comes to mind. "In the beginning was the
Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, :2,
the same was in the beginning with God, :3, all thing were
made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was
made. :14, And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among
us..."
1John 5:7 continues, "For there are three that bear record
in heaven, The Father, The Word, and The Holy Spirit and
these three are one."
Finally, Revelation 19:13 says, "And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called, THE WORD OF
GOD."
Let us stop trying to divide God and His Word. Apart from
the Word of God, we can't know God!
James 1:21 says that we "receive the engrafted word which is
able to save your souls."
As there is salvation in no other name than "Jesus", it is
apparent that Jesus is the Living Word of God. He and His
Word are One! So when you hear someone asking if we worship
the Word of God or the Jesus revealed in the word of God -
Just tell them that we don't have any knives in our drawers
sharp enough to separate the two...
This is AuThor with a little thunder...
