- Often folks
who read a Christian book in the morning think they have had
a quiet time.
The time needs to be real
time with the Lord. I am in favor of books that are called "spiritual
reading" and even as part of the morning devotional.
It's not a bad way to start. Reading
a section of a devotional book or a biography can get things
going, and then there must be the real Word of God and prayer.
- I am a great
advocate of good books. They are an essential. But they do not
take the place of the Bible. It takes a special discipline to
get the Bible out and faithfully read it.
I have had missionary wives tell
me they read a portion of a book for the entire day's quiet time.
You need the Bible.
- I love
books.They are full of truth, but they are not Truth. They can
shed light on healing but they are not the Great Physician. Even
the best book can not claim to provide the washing and cleansing
that the Word of God does.
- Selective
laziness must not dictate our walking in the Light. Without
the Word of God there is no fellowship with the One whose name
is The Word.
