For a moment, dream with me.
Let's approach the Bible in a couple of alternate ways.
What do I mean?
Sure, we can study it and dissect it. We can discover the archaeology, historicity and validity. All those things are helpful. We can even be carried away by the poetry (despite what Monty Python thinks).
However, one word continues to shake me: (to paraphrase) "I will fulfill every jot and tittle."
Should we be looking at the Bible with a little more delicacy? Should we be searching to find the beauties of our Lord?
What we find dusty and dry should be coming alive in our hands.
If it's losing relevance, it is not the Bible that has become dull---but the people who read it.
O Lord, let your Word come alive in us. Amen.
