II Timothy 2:9 the word of God is not bound

Zambia is a nation of diversities. Each tribe and province has its own culture, language, and customs. It is only the Scripture that crosses such diverse boundaries with little effort. After years of Bible study, it still amazes me how easy all subjects of the Scripture relate no matter what people group is hearing.
This last week has been filled with reminders of how God uses the Scripture to speak - it has nothing to do with the mouth piece, only to do with the words spoken. Tuesday, taught "advanced" theology to 28 Bible Institute men. Thursday, taught practical evangelism to 28 Institute men. Interesting how so often people come to class with preconceived ideas of theology and in fact, are often unable to 'learn' what truth is because of such ideas. Saturday, we went to Kitwe west to preach a youth conference - again, the teaching and preaching of God's word was not bound. Yet - in each of these cases, human nature fights against the working of the Spirit of God.
