Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (YouTube channel: CANSWERSTV at http://www.youtube.com/user/CAnswersTV; websites: http://www.BibleQuery.org, http://www.HistoryCart.com & http://www.MuslimHope.com) discusses his favorite Bible preachers & teachers as found on the website called www.SermonAudio.com. Many Christians do not utilize their available time for proper Bible study to maximize their devotion to God's Word & to an obtaining of a greater understanding of the very nature of God & His ways. The Devil's greatest weapon in his war against God's people is ignorance of the revelation of God as revealed through His prophets & apostles as found in the Holy Scriptures. God puts great importance on His revealed Word as found in Psalm 138:2, "for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name" (KJV). Jesus Himself mentioned this importance again & again but one of the most striking references is found in Luke 16:27-31 where he stated, "And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham *said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead." Thus the Word of God is paramount to knowing God & His will which in turn, through the power of the Holy Spirit, leads to eternal life & salvation from the coming wrath of God through the gospel of Jesus Christ for all those who trust Jesus & His word. Jesus said, “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?" Another problem facing Christians is false prophets who are everywhere to be found. 1 John 4:1 says, " Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." People who do not know what the Bible teaches are sitting ducks for the devil & his false religious & secular prophets. Thus the best defense against this threat is learning from good Bible teachers & preachers & deeply studying the Bible for oneself. 2 Timothy 2:15, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." 1 Thessalonians 5:21, "But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good". With good Bible study along with sound Bible teachers & preachers the man or woman of God will be equipped to fulfill 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" and 2 Timothy 4:2-5, "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." It is our desire that this video presentation will be of some help to all those who earnestly seek to diligently study the Word of God on a regular & continual basis. Death is coming for every person but the Word of God which is centered on the Lord Jesus Christ is our sure foundation to lead Christians through this dangerous & evil world to a glorious end (Isaiah 40:8, "The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever."
