Not a Master of the Bible but a Servant of the Word

January 5, 2012

So, keep your expectations realistic. You will never master the Bible—no one has done so yet, even though some people may sound like it. The point is not to become a master of the Bible but to be a servant to the Word.

On the other hand, don’t underestimate yourself. The Bible is not a comlex database that requires highly skilled technicians to unlock—there are no passwords or special codes to be learned. The spirit in which we approach the Bible and read and study it is far more important than our ability to use even the most sophisticated Bible study tools.
