228. Mirror Before Sword: The Power of Self-Reflection

228. Mirror Before Sword: The Power of Self-Reflection   "Before you use God's Word as a SWORD, use it first as a MIRROR" In this episode, we look at the importance of seeing the Bible first as a mirror to ourselves before we use it as a sword against anyone else.   Questions for Self-Examination: Use Scripture as your mirror, asking "How does this passage reveal areas where I need growth?" Am I allowing God's Word to transform me, or am I merely acquiring knowledge? (Romans 12:2) What patterns in my life need to change to align more closely with Scripture? How am I responding to conviction from the Holy Spirit? (John 16:8) In what areas am I resisting God's leading? Am I being honest with myself about my spiritual condition? (Psalm 51:6)       Support the podcast with a coffee.... https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crisrogers   To get a copy of The Bible Book By Book head here...https://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/bible-study/bible-study-reference-books/bible-background/the-bible-book-by-book/   Rev Cris Rogers is a church leader at allhallowsbow.org.uk and Director of Making Disciples.
