Online Letter 215 26 November 2024 Dear Online Friend(s), The Bible is a Book of “absolutes!” The God of the Bible is absolutely Absolute, completely Complete, and perfectly Perfect! Nothing can be added to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! Psalmist David’s understanding of God’s Word is unique: Psalm 19:7,8,9,11, “The Law of the Lord is PERFECT ... The Testimony of the Lord is SURE ... The Statutes of the Lord are RIGHT ... The Commandment of the Lord is PURE ... The Judgments of the Lord are TRUE and RIGHTEOUS altogether ... In keeping them there’s a great reward!” These words kept burning in my heart for a few weeks from July 2024. What kept ringing in my ears was the word, “WITHOUT.” With the help of a Bible Concordance, I picked up 10 references with the word, WITHOUT, and meditated on them for about three months. I delivered it as a 4-hour Talk titled, “Indispensables,” in the Annual StanleyOnBible Family Meet in the Yelagiri Hills, Tamilnadu, 9-10 November 2024. The presence of God felt both on the pulpit and in the pew was unmistakable. Though I was rather exhausted following this programme, the Spirit of the Lord kept urging me to write down the Talk as an Article, which is attached here for your free downloading. This Article covers a variety of subjects, beneficial to both new and mature believers. Do forward them to all your Christian contacts. Study it individually and collectively. Feel free to use these 10 points while preaching and teaching. Be edified and encouraged! The vernacular translations and the video version of the Talk delivered in English are underway. Regards.
