Cut It Straight (Happy Caldwell)

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

—2 Timothy 2:15

God doesn’t need man’s opinions or traditions added to the Scriptures. He wants us to understand exactly what He meant by what He said. To do this, we need to rightly divide the Word of God.

The phrase rightly dividing means "to cut straight," like a farmer who plows a straight row in his field. To cut God’s Word straight would mean interpreting the verse in light of other scriptures. It includes being accurate in conveying God’s true intent and avoiding twisting a verse to fit the circumstances.

In “Cut It Straight: Volume One, A Practical Guide to Rightly Dividing God’s Word,” Pastor Happy Caldwell targets some of the most commonly misunderstood scriptures. He identifies the error in how these verses have been handled and presents a biblical view of their correct application.

In this book, he addresses some controversial questions:

• Does God use evil to bring about good?
• Is everything that happens to you the will of God?
• What does “God is sovereign” really mean?
• How does God chasten us?
• And more!

Through his decades of experience leading the people of God, Pastor Caldwell shares biblical insight and practical examples that help us “cut it straight” and rightly divide the holy Word of God.
