---My pastor talked about how if you set a lion in cage and put it before you (or the church) and then open the cage, it is not you who has to protect the lion, the lion needs no protection; it is you who needs the protection. It is the same with the scripture. It is a lion. It will conquer. He also told a story of how while looking at the lions at the zoo, one of them roared. The roar shook the things around him. The roar shook him.
---The Bible talks about the scripture as being a double edged sword that divides bone and marrow, spirit and soul. It comes at us in close, violent, and personal combat. It shakes us and conquers us and conforms us into the image of Christ.
---Scripture is also described as water, bread, substance, life. It is not only personal in combat but personal in sustaining us and being life giving and a hope and a joy. It strengthens us. They are the words of the Beloved. His word washes His bride conforming us into the image of Christ.
---God's word is at work for the power of His glory.
