Discussion Questions
7 questions1.What is the fifth faith statement, and why does Moore save it for last? How does it function as the practical engine that makes the other four statements actually work in everyday life?
2.Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as 'living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword.' Moore dwells on the word *living* — not just ancient and authoritative, but alive. What is the difference between treating the Bible as a reference book and treating it as a living voice?
3.Isaiah 55 promises that God's Word 'will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.' Moore applies this to the specific Scripture passages we memorize, meditate on, and speak aloud. What Scripture passage has God used most powerfully in your life — one that seemed to accomplish exactly what He sent it to do?
a.How did that passage come to you — a sermon, a personal reading, someone else sharing it?
b.What was the specific work it did in you or in your circumstances?
