[Alex Murphy]

The Bible is more than a book for you to read. You are in the story. It’s about your past—all of your hurts and fears and mistakes and broken dreams (no matter who you are)—and it’s about your future—God wants to turn everything in your life into an eternal blessing. It’s tempting to think that you must have some kind of professional help in order to grow from reading the Bible, especially if you've been around church for a long time and feel like you’ve heard it all already, but it isn’t true. You can open up the Bible right now and if you are attentive to it, if you’re patient and willing to let it teach you, you will learn something. Yes, there is "wisdom in the multitude of counselors". But God's Word is also the story of how He speaks to all who are willing to listen. Learning to read your Bible regularly—not just read it, but soak in it, chew on it and digest it—requires discipline. It takes practice, but when you get used to it, you begin to desire that time. You begin to hunger for the Word.

...the Puritans had "a more elevated and complete view" of our social duties than the Europeans of that time. They took care of the poor, maintained their highways, kept careful records and registries, secured law and order, and, most of all, provided education for everyone — through high school. The purpose of universal education was that everyone should be able to read the Bible to know what's most important — his or her duties to their Creator — for themselves. Everyone must read in order that no one be deceived or suckered by others. This noncondescending egalitarianism was the first source of the American popular enlightenment that had so many practical benefits. "Puritan civilization in North American," our outstanding novelist/essayist Marilynne Robinson observes, "quickly achieved unprecedented levels of literacy, longevity, and mass prosperity, or happiness, as it was called in those days"....
