It’s the old “inductive vs deductive” or “exegesis vs eisegesis.”

Bingo! The modern believer thinks that the Bible is like God's telegraph machine. He or she doesn't seek to grow in grace and knowledge, but get a quick-fix to a perplexing problem and then move on. It really is a disgrace at how the Word is treated.

The eisegesis has infiltrated many churches under the radar screen (to steel a phrase from “America’s pastor”), in part, via Blackably’s “Experiencing God” - embraced by many people who had disengaged their minds from what their church masters put before them.
