“The tragic fruit
of neglecting the Word of God is not just ignorance…[it] is a barren life. And not
just barren, but a powerless and dissatisfied life is inevitable when you
neglect the Bible habit of the Christian life, of reading the Word of God. And today
we’re living in a time when people want everything the easy way. You used to
have to percolate coffee; you don’t have to do that anymore. You can just stick
the spoon in the jar and slap it in the hot water and give it one stir, and you’ve
got coffee. In the same way people today are seeking spiritual shortcuts. Instead
of faithfully studying and seeking a true knowledge of the Word of God, they
pursue some kind of an experience that will just shortcut the whole thing.”
