Quantity versus Quality

Posted on February 20, 2016 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

Scrabble word Quality

My guess is that most Christians would agree that reading Scripture is a good thing. The fact that the Bible is a perennial best seller lends credence to this.

But what is the best way to read it? Should I keep to a reading schedule or take a little bit at a time. Do I want to focus on the quantity or the quality of my reading?

Live with the end in mind?

I recently got a tweet which said, “Live with the end in mind but remember it’s the journey that matters in the end.” Without thinking, we might ingest this statement and think it says something helpful.

Ism’s that replace the Gospel

The lies that capture us as Christians usually seem to fit well within the borders of our Christianity. Perhaps postmodernism and sexual immorality are not the greatest threats to the church of Christ in our day. Perhaps we are in more danger from the subtle lies that flow from subtle shifts in how we understand the gospel. We have not forsaken the faith, but we may have redefined it in ways that are fundamentally different from the gospel laid out in Scripture.
