Hello Everyone,

Someone who is in the game knows the PLAY BOOK Guard the Word.

If you are going to get in the game, you have got to know the playbook.

God has given us the playbook for the game; it is the Word of God.

When the QB calls a play in the huddle, he calls an abbreviation from the play book.

He does not explain the details of the play; you are supposed to have that memorized.
If you do not know the playbook, you will never be in the game.

When Paul is handing off the ball to a young man named Timothy that he has mentored, he tells him this.

1 Timothy 6:20-21 NIV Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.

Every believer is a trustee of the play book, and it is a treasure committed to his trust, which he has to keep.

Guard the playbook.

Why is the playbook, the Word of God so vital to guard?
Psalm 119:11 KJV
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalm 119:105 NIV
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:133 NIV
Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.

Helmet – Guard your mind.
You have been given the mind of Christ.
Shoulder pads – Guard your heart.
It is the wellspring of life.
Playbook – Guard the Word of God.
Thy word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin.

Are you in the game? If not let’s get in it.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
