Why I Love the Bible

The Internet is a fascinating way to expand one's world and understanding. Never before in the history of mankind has so much information become available to anyone who has the time to search and read. It is encouraging to me that people of various backgrounds can share their thoughts, hopes and experiences with literally millions of people worldwide. For those of us whose journey comes out of the restoration movement (whose motto was "Christians only; but, not the only Christians" )--it is a cause of celebration. Individuals are no longer captive to the thoughts and teachings of only those within their own geographic or approved circles of influence. There is a cross pollination effect that some would identify as the "spirit moving" within the church. For example, I came across the following article in the Harvard Divinity Bulletin which I found worthy of consideration:

In the end, it is about falling in love with the one who inspired the Bible. It is not about me. We learn to discover truth wherever we find it. And in the end, we find that truth is not a static law written in stone; but, a personality revealed in Jesus Christ that is written on our hearts.
