You know, I like the Scriptures a lot. I consider them not only to be God’s Word, but also great literature, full of stories of broken and sinful people not unlike myself. I think Christians today if they’re not careful can begin to view reading the Bible like taking vitamins— not fun, but necessary.
But the Bible is not some collection of pithy little proverbs mouthed by pious little church mice—it is an epic story, full of all the greed and sex and betrayal and war to befit mankind. It’s a love story, between God and Man, beginning with a romance, and then Man’s affair with sin and God’s pursuit of her, and ending with their wedding. It proves God can take a bunch of sinful weirdoes, from countless generations, and draw them together in a common bond of His love.
People say they go to the Bible to find answers, but the Bible does not cater to our simple-minded questions—it reveals to us God’s absolute, unsearchable Truth. I go to the Bible not to find nuggets of theology but to encounter God in the way that He has expressed Himself to us—and it’s a scary thing, but exhilarating. These are the Holy Scriptures, God's own Word. Paul says the Scriptures are God’s breath, and I kind of go, wow, let’s breathe this as deeply as possible.

Good memory. I almost put that same one again, but decided against. I just LOVE the song, even though it is so terribly sad. But yeah, One Day More won out. Fits current mood more. ;-)
