Reading the Bible has an impact like no other book. It portrays God’s character and system of justice and orderliness of the universe. Without Scripture, we would be clueless of God’s love and character. With the Bible, we see history as sequential and linear, leading to Christ’s intervention in time and space, His resurrection, and the moving of the church to change individuals and groups. Much of today’s thinking seems to be self oriented, with decisions made in a gap hazard manner, rather than to fit into God’s bigger story. We like immediacy without delay of any return. But God’s way of changing us is a slow process with great eternal reward.
