How should Christians handle the Word of God?
Christians should handle the Word of God carefully, never carelessly or flippantly, but as an awesome responsibility. They should approach it with the leading and directing of the Holy Spirit, comparing Scripture with Scripture, and pray to be kept from error so they do not mislead anyone, helping people understand and enjoy their Bible.
Les teaches that handling the Word of God is an awesome responsibility, not something to be done flippantly. He urges believers to take their Bible, a pen, and notes, follow along, and compare Scripture with Scripture. He acknowledges there may be legitimate points of difference, but warns against treating the Word carelessly. He says it must be done with the leading and directing of the Holy Spirit, praying, “Lord, keep me from error,” so as not to mislead anyone. His aim is to help people enjoy their Bible, which is what God intended.
