Quote of the Week: Sproul

. . . I was hired to teach the Scriptures in required Bible courses at a Christian college.  The president of the institution phoned me and said, "We need someone young and exciting, someone with a dynamic method who will be able to 'make the Bible come alive.'"  I had to force myself to swallow my words.  I wanted to say, "You want me to make the Bible come alive?  I didn't know it had died.  In fact, I never even heard that it was ill.  Who was the attending physician at the Bible's demise?"  No, I can't make the Bible come alive for anyone.  The Bible is already alive.  It makes ME come alive.

R. C. Sproul, Knowing Scripture

Psalm 119:17-18

Deal bountifully with your servant,
that I may live and keep your word.
Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
