Jeremiah 36

Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire. v.23

Read chapter 36
Cutting and burning God's words.  It happen then and still happens today.  God told Jeremiah to write down all the words He had spoken to Jeremiah so perhaps the people would hear it and turn.  Even when the princes of Judah heard all the words written they knew it was God's words and said they must be read to the king.   They also knew it could go bad with the king so they told Jeremiah and Baruch his scribe to hide.  So when one of king Jehoiakim's servants read hi Jeremiah's school, Jehoiakim starts to cut up the scroll and then throw it in to the fire.  Jehoiakim didn't like God's words, His judgement to come on Jerusalem and himself, so perhaps he thought if he destroyed they words they wouldn't come true.  God has Jeremiah and Baruch write the school again is what we read today.  Yet just like Jehoiakim many people like to "cut" things out of the Bible they don't like.  They pick and choose what morals they'll follow an does they don't agree with they choose to ignore or make a fairy tale out of it or go flat out against it.  The Bible today may be cut up or burned but never can the enduring word of God be destroyed.  Isaiah 40:8, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."
How have you seen people "cut" God's word today?  How have or do you find yourself cutting God's word?  Why?
