Every time I read your late night comments, I am blessed! Thank you so much for proving that God's word IS what He says it is. I laugh at those who accuse others of "worshiping" the Bible in a vain attempt to cause them to question the place of the Scriptures in the life of a Christian. Just as our savior Jesus Christ used "it is written" to combat the temptations of the devil, so we can as well by using His example because, as you said, it is the ONLY offensive weapon we are given in our spiritual armor. I love what the psalmist says:

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psalm 19:7-11)
