"The legalism of the Pharisees is an expression of bibliolatry -- a rigid adherence to the letter of the Scriptures, devoid of the presence of the Spirit, which makes a virtual idol of the Scriptures. Our God is not the Bible, but its living Author:
"You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that testify on my behalf," said Jesus. "Yet you refuse to come to me to have life" (John 5:30-40)."
Oh Father, bring me into the place where LIFE is imparted from the reading of the word.
