Now, don't get me wrong. I love the scriptures. I live in my Bible, but some people treat it like some kind of magic book. It doesn't claim to be that. It claims to be the word of Almighty God. It's powerful, not because it's magical, but because God is powerful, and His word alone is creative.
Only God's voice can bring something into existence that was never there before. Only God's voice can transform one thing into another. And only God's voice can separate the indivisible or join solitaries.
Practically speaking, the promises, commands, principles, truths, mysteries, et al do nothing at the intonations of the superstitious. They are inert to the ritualist and, like the little child who won't perform for strangers, dormant to mere onlookers.
Faith is the connecting grace, linking us less-than-specks to awesome cosmic power, us bag-of-needs to a bottomless abyss of supply, us pick-of-the-litter dullards to galactic genius and wisdom.
The Bible impresses me, but the Bible's Author is impressive!
