WARNING !!
- / -

God said through Moses,

"Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."

- / -

I must warn you that
if you "Feast on the Scriptures"
you will have participated in only
 a part of the great "Feast of the Word."
-
"Man shall not live by bread alone
but by every word that comes from
the mouth of the Lord," does not mean "Man lives by the Book" alone.

-

This book does not contain all of the "Words of God" or even "every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord." Even this scripture, this record, testifies to that.

-

Further more, God has not stopped speaking. Certainly the one who wants a personal relationship with us has not stopped talking to us individually and as a people.

-

He has not said, "There. I have spoken and so we'll just let those words stand. I have given you a written record so you don't need to hear from me nor will I have anything more to say."

-

There are still words proceeding from the Lord's mouth - words spoken into the fabric of the universe and affecting

or arranging our lives. Words spoken into the hearts and minds of men instructing them, comforting them, even enlightening them to the life which is spoken of in the recorded words.
