FIGHTING IT

"The Holy Bible was not written for information. It was written for transformation." I'm not at all sure who said it, but it wasn't I, though I agree. And as my title suggests, I fight it all the time.

I find the Bible so fascinating. I love to study it. Maybe that's why I'm in 4 Bible studies. Often I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead me to what I am supposed to glean from The Word.

If not, then I fall into the student trap of studying and learning because of the content. The Bible must change people. It must charge people to act in a godly, holy way. If not, it's not the fault of the Bible which is God-breathed. It's the fault of the reader who hasn't entered into the reading in the right frame of mind.

I've asked God to reveal to me what He wants me to focus on, what His plan for me that day is. It's with that kind of purpose that the Bible can change us. To be filled with the Spirit, not just filled with the knowledge.
