Six Things We Should Never Do with God's Word!

"Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

4. We Must Never Forget God's Word. Deut. 4:9, "Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life:"

   
   

5. We Must Never Hoard God's Word. Deut. 4:9, "...but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;"
