“Reflecting on the Word of the Lord” by Randolph Kesler is now available for purchase
“There may be people in your life whom you have set aside and decided to avoid because of issues between you or because your personalities collide. We should be grateful that our Lord God did not give up on us when we chose to go our own ways and do our own things knowing beyond doubt such living was not in accordance with his will for us.”
– an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press has published “Reflecting on the Word of the Lord” by Randolph Kesler. The purpose of this work is to encourage the readers to reflect for themselves on the written Word and the living Word, Jesus Christ, whom you find within it. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
Randolph Kesler, an ordained Christian pastor, has served as pastor in Baptist and Presbyterian congregations for thirty years. He earned his Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, and has done additional graduate work toward a Master of Theology.
We Christians live in a rushed and hurried culture that our churches have accepted without thinking through the consequences. It seems that we have allowed ourselves to equate busyness with spirituality and bible study with the loudest opinion in the room.
Reflecting attempts to call us back to a mature time in Christian history when congregants did not read the Bible speedily. One of the author’s high school English teachers used to warn them that just vocalizing words aloud was different from truly reading.
This book calls us to read the Scripture, reread the Scripture, think about what we have read, and meditate on the concepts of a passage by following them throughout the Scripture. By this means, we should be able to grasp a more complete understanding of the ideas the verses have presented to us.
Moreover, a slower reading and rereading allow time for the Holy Spirit to speak to us. Often, the author hears someone express that as often as they have read a certain passage of Scripture, they did not gain the newest understanding from their latest reading. Why is that?
It is because we have just spoken words without reflecting on them. Reflecting and meditating are old ways of studying the Word of God. You will be richly blessed by beginning and maintaining the practice. It is indeed food for the hungry Christian’s soul.
