Rev. A.J. Ogden

I would hope you would ignore the title and read the instructions first. Many who go through life making one mistake after another have never sat down to read the Bible, God’s road map and direction book for life. II Timothy 2:15 tells us to read God’s orders before we launch out in life. “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Without God’s guidance we walk in darkness and it’s no wonder we stumble so much. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Again He offers His instruction in II Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

We were created for fellowship with God. When man tries to live apart from his Maker, he is very incomplete, walks in a fog, does not have much light for life’s pathway, and often falls.

We need God’s power, presence, protection and wisdom, which cannot be acquired anywhere else. We also need God’s salvation for our eternal future. Some may boast of not believing in a burning Hell, but that will never put the fire out.
