The Right Way to View Reading, Meditating, and Studying Scripture

Click on the link below to watch a 90 second video. On the video D.A. Carson addresses the subject of what some refer to as "personal, daily devotions". His remarks are short, sweet and to the point. They are also immensely simple, yet profound as well.

Are We Prejudice Sometimes?

I came across the following in a book I am reading entitled Biblical Law and Ethics written by New Covenant theologian Gary Long. The quote is not original with Long. The following was said by a Baptist preacher named John Quincy Adams. It refers to the prejudice spirit that we all possess from time to time.

"Its walls are of adamantine strength and of almost impenetrable thickness. Entrenched in this fortress, men are unapporoachable. The soundest logic, the strongest arguments, the most convincing proof, the fairest reasoning, all fail, all are powerless, while prejudice holds the mind within her grasp."

May we keep this thought in mind when we approach the study of Scripture!
