Second Hand

Beware of a second hand relationship with the Word of God. Get into the book yourself! You can be going to church every time the doors are open, listening to Christian music, reading books on the Bible, and--stagnate as a Christian unless you yourself are in the book--reading and studying. Develop an intimacy with the Book and the Spirit who uses the book to show you who you are, who He is, and how you can become more like Him on a daily basis. A second hand relationship is not enough--not nearly enough.
