After a lifetime of being a church member, and leading the Church, as a Teacher, Ruling Elder, Lay Speaker, Lay Preacher, and a certified Lay Pastor, this is my understanding of the power of God's word. God's Word is the most powerful thing in the cosmic universe. By His Word He can create, sustain, or destroy. He created the universe, and created mankind in His own image. This is a synoptic of the use of His word, from the beginning to the present time and an account of those persons, who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and became His disciples, and carried his message throughout the world.
