“But Jesus said to him, “Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you.….Luke 9:50 NASB

In less than 10 days, the new THE BIBLE miniseries has been the most watched program on Television this year! The fact that it is on a cable channel – THE HISTORY CHANNEL – and the subject is the Greatest Book of All time, in a time of corruption and evil – IS INCREDIBLE!

Yet, some of my brothers and sisters persist in not just criticism of this massive worldwide outreach, but downright unChristian language and a complete lack of love and perspective on what is truly happening. Most of the criticism involves what is missing from the narrative. It is difficult to get every morsel of Truth into a 20 hour program, designed to accomodate commercials and it is obvious certain key verses were left out.

The Bible is full of a richness that never fails to capture the imagination and fill up our minds with pure wisdom. It is fascinating! Many, even many aged Christians, wonder why some Christians can be so thrilled with the richness of Scripture. Could it be a lack of Bible Study themselves? Could it be that they are satisfied with a weekly service and nothing more? A love for the Scripture can only be realized when one decides to apply themselves to know more – better everything they can know – of Jehovah the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit who guides and illuminates us. Knowing a little is helpful but can leave your vision of Him skewed and your relationship humdrum.

But to know Him deeper each day is to soar like an eagle and alight upon the golden meadows of bounty. For instance there was a time before the Northern Kingdom of Israel had fully been scattered to the nations that they were given a chance to know more about the goodness of God and how in turning to Him, He could heal their lands, their activities could prosper, and their children could be blessed. The choice was before them to either take up his words or walk away.
