The Living Word of God
1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when
you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it
not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which
is at work in you who believe.
God's Word is more than just a message. It is living and active in
helping us to conform to the image of God.

Public Bible-Reading as Part of Worship
To read the Bible well in public we must first love it. The voice, if
it is free, unconsciously follows the emotional tone. Reverence cannot
be simulated. No one who does not feel the deep solemnity of the Holy
Word can properly express it. God will not allow His Book to become
the plaything of the rhetorician. That is why we instinctively draw
back from every simulated tone in the reading of the Scriptures. The
radio announcer's artificial unction cannot hide the absence of the
real thing. The man who stands to declaim the Scriptures like a
schoolboy reciting a passage from Hamlet can only leave his hearers
with a feeling of disappointment. They know they have been cheated,
though most of them could not tell just how. Again, to read the Bible
well, one must know what the words mean and allow them to mean just
that, without putting any body English on the passage to make it take
a turn of meaning not found in the text. Probably the hardest part of
learning to read well is eliminating ourselves. We read best when we
get ourselves out of the transaction and let God talk through the
imperfect medium of our voice. The beginner should read aloud whole
books of the Bible in the privacy of his own room. In that way he can
learn to hear his own voice and will know how he sounds to others. Let
him consult a pronouncing Bible to learn the correct pronunciations of
the names and places of the Bible. Let him cultivate the habit of
reading slowly and distinctly with the reverence and dignity proper to
the subject matter. Surely Protestants deserve a better sort of
Scripture reading than they are now getting in our churches. And we
who do the reading are the only ones who can give it to them.
Verse
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to
preaching and to teaching. 1 Timothy 4:13
Thought
Public reading of the Scripture is closely related to preaching and
teaching. Certainly preaching and teaching need to be done well but so
does the public reading of the Scripture. All are part of corporate
church worship.
Prayer
May we read Your Word from our hearts, Father, and may we listen with
our hearts when we hear it read.
