i'm a book person
been reading from the time i could hold one, almost
recently, i've (again) run across someone who likes to quote an author to support this or that point they're making
this on things christian
just butt into it again as i'm looking at a promotional email from a christian book seller ..
remembering the days i was involved in that, and the acrid taste it left in the back of my throat..
the taste of green
opinion: america turned education for christians into business.. big business
far far too often, the motivation becomes the Almighty US$
... . . . .
it would do us well, me included, to remember that it is scripture that is breathed by God, not the thoughts and words of men
not that God doesn't inspire anymore
he breathes still
but some of us tend to quote author(s) more than we do scripture, more than we do God .. .
just sayin'
What I have always said
ReplyDeleteThis is a dangerous area that can lead to idolatry, in my opinion. We need put no man on a pedestal.
