All Scripture

Avid readers share a common bond; they truly enjoy reading. I find that refreshing in today’s high tech world. Readers surface in a society of video clips and audio sound bites. Sadly, newspapers and bookstore businesses are on the demise. Yet, multitudes still choose to read what comes out in print.

Readers continue to visit libraries and book stores but they also use alternate sources. Many have found E books and internet Ezines convenient and delight in book storage on Kindle. What’s your preference?

Paperback or hardcover?

Magazines or Kindle?

A quiet corner in a cozy chair?

Snuggling under a quilt or comforter?

God gifted King Solomon with wisdom. Note what Solomon had to say about reading.

“But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh. All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is], and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:12-13a AMP).”

Solomon was right; we shouldn’t believe everything we read.

But we can and should believe all Scripture.

“All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage] (2 Timothy 3:16 AMP).”
