: God’s Word Is Clear: Deuteronomy 30 and Bible Understanding, Appetite, Authority
This message by Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church confronts a crucial spiritual reality: the issue is not access to Scripture, but appetite for it. Drawing from the legacy of the Geneva Bible (1560)—a translation designed so ordinary believers could understand God’s Word—we are reminded that Scripture itself testifies to its clarity and sufficiency.
In Deuteronomy | 30:11–14, God declares that His Word is not too difficult or distant, but near and knowable. The psalmist affirms in Psalm | 119:130 that God’s Word gives understanding even to the simple. Yet despite unprecedented access today, many remain distant from Scripture, not because it is unclear, but because desire has grown weak.
The call of Scripture is clear: believers are to hunger for the Word (1 Peter | 2:2), handle it accurately (2 Timothy | 2:15), and live under its authority (Joshua | 1:8). The same Word that shaped the Reformers continues to transform lives today.
Will you approach the Bible expecting God to speak? Will you give yourself to knowing and obeying His truth? Take time to reflect—and return to the Word with renewed hunger.
