Summary: When I was a teenager a man approached me who was a leader in our church. He said, "I'd like to spend time with you, Luis, now that you're 18 and you're serious about God." So, for three years this gentleman, three times a week, would spend three hours with me, on our knees, teaching me the Bible, praying, and expressing what God wants from a young man.I remember so many things he said. The one I want to talk to you about is this: he read a passage in Isaiah 66:2. Listen to what it says, "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word." You know, I'd never noticed that verse. "This is the one I esteem," says the Lord, "whoever is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word." And you know what that is talking about? About taking the Word of God to heart. About honoring and revering our creator. That when you are on your knees, with a humble and contrite heart and spirit, you tremble at the Word of God. In other words, you don't mock it. You don't despise it. You don't take it lightly. I want to challenge you today. If you want to reach your world, take the Word of God seriously and learn to tremble at God's word.
