Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2014
It was very interesting reading the journal and short speeches, etc. of Alice Walker, who has been one of my favorite writers for a long time. Her writings invoke a time many years ago when politics and reaction to government were somewhat more subject to active response on the part of the people. It was also insightful into her as a person, rather than just an author.

I love this book. Full disclosure time: I love the writing of Alice Walker, so I’d probably read her grocery lists if she published a compilation of them. But truly, this book is in my list of Top 20 Favorites of All Time. I found it in a bookstore on a bad day in a bad part of town during a bad period of a bad (back then) life. Reading this book every morning before going off to my bad job kept me sane. I loved it so much I didn’t read the last few pages for a long, long time because I just didn’t want to finish it. Walker sees the poetic truth of life and renders it in brilliant prose. She is absolutely a writer’s writer. I love this book. (I know, I said that already… just… for emphasis.)

«Living by the Word: Selected Writings 1973-1987» is an excellent collection from prolific author Alice Walker. In this collection of essays and journal entries, Walker demonstrates the essential union of her political, spiritual, and artistic «selves.»
Walker writes about many topics: animal rights, her daughter’s smoking habit, her father, the problematic legacy of Joel Chandler Harris, pioneering African-American thinker Benjamin Banneker, vegetarianism, Reggae legend Bob Marley, her own 1983 trip to China, and more. Particularly fascinating are her thoughts on the controversies surrounding her great novel «The Color Purple.»
Although the «New Age» vibe of much of the book may be too much for some readers, I found the book to be well-written and consistently interesting. Walker is a writer who has created a remarkable body of work, and «Living by the Word» is an excellent example of her passion and insight.

Another must-read from Alice Walker
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 30, 2020
An incredible and thought-provoking collection of essays, speeches and journal entries. Even the happy and cheerful accounts offer some insights into related issues and their sources. A book I always keep close-at-hand and have read extracts of to my 80-something granny – who has also come to love Alice Walker’s writing and perspectives on the world. Good to also see her centring the perspectives of Native people and their struggles against ongoing colonisation and genocide on Turtle Island – including teaching her readers a little of the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations/Iroquois’ (coloniser’s name) confederacy’s important model for democracy. Life-affirming and eye-opening. One of my favourite books from Alice Walker. Read everything you can by her.

A blast from the past
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 28, 2014
Studied this for A level literature over 20 years ago. Much of these writing are as pertinent now as their were then…probably more.
Living in the Word is a sermon by Jim Fryer.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Introduction:
Spending time with the Master not only requires that we Pray in Faith but that we Live in the Word. You should notice right here that both Praying in Faith and Living in the Word make up our vertical relationship with God.
The strength of our vertical relationship determines how effective our horizontal relationships are.
Here are some suggestions on how to Live in the Word.
1. Read your Bible.
Rom 4:3 For what saith the Scripture?
Pastors and full time workers both need to read their Bibles just as much as the average church member. Reading your Bible is so important that if you don’t read it every day you cannot continue to claim the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Sound radical?
Let me explain. The Bible says that we should renew the inward man day by day. How do we renew the inward man? Be ye transformed by the RENEWING of you mind. Acts 17:11 says the Bereans searched the scripture DAILY. No one in their right mind can excuse the lack of DAILY BIBLE READING. Get to it!
2. Study your Bible.
2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Now the next step in your spiritual growth is studying your Bible. We study by book, we study by themes, we study by repetitive words, etc. Studying mean you investigate the meaning of a passage with the purpose of applying it to your life. For the general student of the Word of God let me suggest that you find a study Bible that will help you. Here are several suggestions.
a. The Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible
b. The Scofield Reference Study Bible
c. John MacArthur’s Study Bible
d. The Life Application Study Bible
3. Meditate on your Bible.
Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Perhaps the partner to reading and studying your Bible is to meditate on what you have discovered. Meditate means to «repeat to yourselves.» In other words, «chew» on the teachings you have discovered. «Digest» what you have discovered. Do what you have discovered and make it part of your daily living…Living in the Word.
4. Listen to others teach the Bible.
Act 18:11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Now I cannot stop this sermon without telling you that self study in not all that you need for the Bible to have full impact on your life. Someone needs to guide you. The local church is the primary place to find Biblical instruction. The Sunday School, Home Bible Studies, a one-on-one study group are all ways to receive instruction.
Perhaps the most popular way is to attend preaching. The Bible says clearly that the early church «Daily in the Temple and from house to house we ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.»
Conclusion:
Have you read your Bible Today? Get to it!
His Word will change you.
You have His Word on it!

There are many things that God has promised in His Word that He will do for you, but you have to go after them with faith and appropriation.

Furthermore, the trumpet blast is symbolic of the anointed Word from God that directs the path of people who seek to be led by His Spirit. Let us have faith and expectation that God’s presence during the feast season brings His protection, guidance, and direction.

Release #: 2021-0706-1R • Message Date: 03/09/1969
Available MP3 Download: The Wheat And The Tares, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, March 9, 1969.
The Wheat And The Tares
The parable of the wheat and the tares is a depiction of what must take place in a believer’s life. There is in each one of our lives, an abundance of grace as we mature. Though we must deal with the presence of evil, this grace is a door of hope to the believer. God makes a way to avoid spiritual jeopardy as He matures us. And with wisdom and patience we are able to use the principle of displacement as we meditate on His Word.

Communion Meditation: The Valley Of Achor As A Door Of Hope
The Valley of Achor is not a memorial to a defeat that came to Israel through one man’s fault. From such a desolate place, comes a door of hope by which God can bestow His mercy and grace. God is not looking for a reason to judge you; He is looking for a reason to bless you. We can stand in the gap for one another, forgiving one another, ministering mercy and grace to one another.

Foundation Scriptures:
The Logos of God is a living thing, active and more cutting than any sword with double edge, penetrating to the very division of soul and spirit, joint and marrow — scrutinizing the very thoughts and conceptions of the heart. 13 And no created thing is hidden from Him; all things lie open, exposed before the eyes of Him with whom we have to reckon. Hebrews 4:12-13 Moffat’s Translation
1. God Speaks Through His Word.
a. God and His Word are One—His Word is alive and living.
b. Nothing and no one is hidden from Him—He sees all and He knows what is in the heart of man.
c. The Word is our only sure connection with and to Him, and He speaks to us through His Word.
d. 1 Peter 1:25 AMPC — But the Word of the Lord (divine instruction, the Gospel) endures forever. And this Word is the good news which was preached to you.
e. He reveals to us who He is, what He does, and who we are in relationship to Him.
f. Psalm 40:7 AMPC — Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me.
g. Jesus is the Living word—the Logos made flesh (John 1:14).
h. Without God’s Word we would never know all that is available to us through Jesus Christ.
2. Salvation through the Word.
a. Jeremiah 23:29 NKJV — “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
b. The Word of God—though the action of the Holy Spirit—convicts a person of sin and convinces them of the need of a Savior (John 16:7-11,13).
c. Salvation—eternal life—comes through believing the Word and confessing it with your mouth (Rom. 10:9-10).
d. We are recreated—born again—by the Word.
e. 1 Peter 1:23 NKJV — Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.
f. James 1:18 NKJV — Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
g. The Gospel MUST be preached because salvation is only available through God’s Word (Romans 10:13-15).
3. Transformation Through the Word.
a. Your soul—mind, will, emotions—is saved (regenerated) through the Word.
b. Philippians 2:12b KJV — …work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
c. James 1:21 NKJV — Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
d. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2).
e. Jesus sanctifies and cleanses His Church by washing her with the Word, so He can present her to Himself glorious, holy, and unblemished (John 15:3; Eph. 5:26-27).
f. Put off the old man and put on the new man—you are a new person, with a new life, who is continually being renewed in knowledge to be like your Creator (Colossians 3:9-11).
g. We will prosper if we continue to meditate on the Word, day and night (Josh. 1:8; Ps. 1:2-3).
h. Our minds are renewed, changed, and trained in righteousness and discernment through the Word, as we study it and act on it (Hebrews 5:14).
i. The Word of God is a mirror that we look into and see who we are now, and who we can be in Jesus—but only if we faithfully persevere and continue on in His Word (James 1:22-25).
j. Be a doer of the Word, not merely a hearer, then you will be blessed (Deut. 28:1-2; Prov. 13:13; Luke 11:28; Rom. 2:13).
4. Correction Through the Word.
a. Proverbs 6:23 KJV — For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
b. Proverbs 10:17 NKJV — He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.
c. The Word of God teaches Truth and imparts wisdom; it convicts (reproof), corrects, and instructs, in order that we may grow and be complete in Him and equipped to serve (2 Tim. 3:15-17).
5. The Word Comes to Live in Us.
a. You are an overcomer because the Greater One lives in you (1 John 4:4).
c. John 14:23 NKJV — Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
d. Colossians 3:16a NKJV — Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another.
e. Receive the Word into your heart and life—let it live in you, guide, direct and sustain you.
f. When you abide in God’s Word and His Words abide in you, your prayers are answered and you become a good fruit bearer, bringing glory to the Father (John 15:7-8).
g. Not just memorizing the Word (head knowledge) but submitting to it and allowing it to change you—becoming more like Jesus.
6. The Word Nourishes and Sustains.
a. Job 23:12b AMPC — …I have esteemed and treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
b. Milk for babes (1 Cor. 3:1-2; 1 Pet. 2:2).
c. Bread for the hungry (Matt. 4:4).
d. Meat for the growing (Heb. 5:11-14).
e. Sweeter than honey (Ps. 19:9-10; 119:103).
f. Jeremiah 15:16 NKJV — Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart…
7. Faith Comes Through Hearing the Word.
a. Faith comes through hearing the Word and grows as we apply it to our own lives.
b. Romans 10:17 NKJV — So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
c. Hebrews 12:2a NKJV — Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
d. Jesus is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.
e. Romans 10:8 NKJV— But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach).
