Following Tricia's Lead

Hi All-

I'm following Tricia's lead in posting a link to an interesting article on the subject of devotions and how Christians are often lead to feel guilt at their inability to remain faithful in reading and praying every day. I want to sya more on it and give my opinion and personal reaction, but I'll leave it to y'all to read it and tell me your opinions. I may post on it later, but I am honestly still reading it, but I wanted to post a link before I left the library.

Here's a quote that I think will elicit a response from you:
"“You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me” (Jn 5:39). Yes, that’s what Jesus said. Bible study can be a sin. The Pharisees assumed the Bible a book of rules or principles for living, but failed the grasp it as a story about God’s love for his people."

Do you agree- do you think that Bible Study can sometimes be a sin? Let me know.

I just realized that I wrote that last question in much the same way that I do when I'm writing for my work at suite101.com. I guess that shows just how ngrained it is in me now. BTW- thanks again to everyone who has been visiting the site and helping my pageviews. Search Engine Optimization is beginning to become easier for me, and the site has a new owner and site design that will hopefully bring in more readers.
