I've been fascinated in the last several months with how many times the Bible encourages us to stop, listen, hear, and take heed to the Word of God, the Bible. We think that simply reading the Bible and agreeing with it is all that God requires, or that this kind of simple agreement is adequate. Not so!

Tim Challies is always thought provoking and never boring. His most recent post about the Bible reminds us of some crucial, unique and life changing maxims about the Word of Truth....

We are the people of the book. The book, of course, is the Bible. Not books about the Bible. Not books that tell stories about people who are trying to follow the Bible. Not books about fictional characters that relate their lives to the Bible somehow. All these a good (I may be cringing a bit here) but they cannot be substitutes for gold. The Bible is a supernatural book, understood by supernatural enabling (1 Corinthians 2), for supernatural transformation that cannot happen any other way. Being "lost" in the text, in the same way, but very different, that we become lost in a novel or a movie or an adventure down the Amazon river. Of course, the adventure of the sons and daughters of God, as they traverse the pages of Scripture has no equal in this life. We are delving into the mysteries of godliness, the mystical depths of trinitarian salvation, the rescue of our own souls from God's justice. May we be people of the book! And Rosaria Butterfield understands it well.
