Scripture is anything which is the word of God. Canonized Scripture is a small subset of scripture which the church has approved and accepted as scripture. The rest of scripture is called apocryphal writings, which contain some scripture, and some philosophies of men mingled with scripture. By following the Spirit, we can learn the difference. All scripture is for the edification of all.

A question then. Is the Rod of Iron all scripture, or only the canonized scripture?

The Iron Rod is the Word of God as spoken directly to you by God. Scripture is anything that is witnessed by the spirit which is the voice of God to you. Anything that is NOT witnessed by the spirit to you personally is the philosophies of men mingled with scripture no matter who says says it, by what authority they speak it, or were you read it and regardless of who voted to make it cannon. Without the witness of the spirit, it is not to be considered scripture or the word of God to you. But No Matter Who says it, or were you read it, if the spirit ratifies it, then it is scripture and the word of God to you.

I have found scripture in magazines, books, shows, websites, advertisements and sources which would seem unlikely sources of Gods word.

We tend to like to draw bounds and lines around what God can do, how he can speak and what who he will use to do his work. God is boundless and so are his methods. Be open to the spirit and you will find scripture everywhere you turn your attention.
