The grace of God is designed to free us from compromise, not make us comfortable in compromise.

Dr Tony Evans talks about what happens when churches and individuals treat truth like it's only a matter of opinion.

The Word of God is not open for negotiation, not when God has spoken clearly on the subject.

This is the alternative with Dr Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship

in Dallas, Texas and president of the Urban Alternative.

Witnesses view events from different angles and although their personal perspective may be relative,

reality never is. Today Dr. Evans shows how to resist the world's efforts to redefine the reality of God's word.

He takes us to Revelation 212 to begin.

Let's join him.

Jesus starts and he speaks the first and the last which he said about himself in

spurna now says in verse 12 the one who has the sharp two-edged sword says this.

This is spoken by the risen Christ,

not as a baby in a manger,

nor as a man walking the streets of Galilee, but now as the risen Lord and he says how I'm

operating right now is with a sharp sword with double edges coming out of my mouth.

Hebrew 412 says that the word of God

is sharper than any two-edged sword. It is piercing and penetrating in its ability and power to affect change

for good or for judgment.

Now the problem today is that we and by we I mean even many Christians

have lost faith in the power of the sword that comes out of

Jesus' mouth. We have lost faith in the power of the word.

Oh, we respect it because we'll carry it under our arms or punch it in on our device.
