WHY I DON'T READ THE BIBLE ANYMORE
"I know this must come as a shock to you, seeing that I am Mr. Average Christians in America. First of all, I have already read the Bible, so what's new? Secondly, listening to my favorite preacher online gives me all the words I need. And, after all, it is hard to understand. One of my friends in the small group reminded me the other day that it is all about dead people, so what's the point?
However, on the positive side, I plan to start rereading it around Christmas sometime."
A few days ago, I was home alone while Arlis visited our son in another city. I took advantage of the time and reviewed some of my notes, preparing for today's video. It wasn't quite lunchtime, so I pulled out the apple fritter I purchased at the grocery store on the way home. Of course, I had to have some coffee with that, then I found the wheat thins that were left over from yesterday, so I nibbled on some of those. But this time, I was hankering for an ice cream slice, so down the Hatch that went also.
It wasn't long before I noticed it was just about lunchtime, but by now, I wasn't hungry, so I kept going through my paperwork. After all, there are some cookies in the cupboard I could get.
I heard the other day from a doctor on the Internet. That sugar is just about as addictive as heroin. I don't know about the heroin part, but I sure know about the sugar part. I can wake up in the morning and dream of having my ice cream slice in the evening. No matter how you look at that, it's just plain wrong.
When we go to church and get entertainment for the soul instead of food for the spirit, it becomes addictive. When we feed the soul snack food, such as good fellowship around good food and baseball games, it gets addictive.
Of course, I am aware and even in agreement that all of these things are wonderful, fun, and good for us, but when they replace our spiritual food, such as the word of God and the moving of the Holy Spirit, we miss the point.
If you feed yourself on "the ice cream slices of life" instead of the good word of God, you also will stop reading the Bible because you have satisfied your soul but not your spirit.
Feed your spirit the good word of God regularly, and you will become the man and woman you have desired to be since you were converted.
