Rooted in the Word: The Foundation of True Revelation

While God spoke dramatically in the Old Testament through voices, dreams, angels, and theophanies, such experiences were rare even then. Today, our primary, constant way to hear God is through His living Word—the Bible. True revelation and guidance come from daily studying and meditating on Scripture, not delegating it to others (2 Timothy 3:16-17). All prophecy must align perfectly with the Bible (1 John 4:1), and we should follow only those rooted in the Word. Like the Bereans (Acts 17:11), test everything against Scripture. The Holy Spirit illuminates truth to believers (1 Corinthians 2:14). Be a diligent student of God’s Word—it’s the unshakable foundation.

The Spiritual Lessons from Ozzy Osbourne’s Life

As Pastor Barron Greenwalt of En-Joy Ministries, I reflect on Ozzy Osbourne’s passing with a heavy heart. In my youth, I listened to his music, but as a follower of Christ, I now see his legacy differently. His “Prince of Darkness” persona and indulgent lifestyle clash with God’s call to holiness. While the world celebrates his talent, we must grieve a life that, absent repentance, missed Christ’s redemption. Let’s pray for those lost in fame’s allure and recommit to living for God’s glory, remembering Psalm 90:12: “Teach us to number our days.”
