BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND

I did some chunk reading for the 2 Timothy 3:10-17 study. First things:


2:9b "But the word of God
is not bound!"




desparate situation.
desparate cry--
covered,
redeemed
by faith.
the body trapped.
the soul alone.
not alone,
the soul free,
connected,
riding the Word
to distant reaches.

my trapped-ness--
internal,
external--
does not,
cannot
bind this free, powerful Word.
