not just Bible BASED - meaning i stand on the bible and talk about something else" ~ John Piper

you can stand on the bible. talk about how great it is. love it and not meditate on it or ever get deep into it. you can be a nominal 'bible-lover'
   dont DO THAT! be a REAL BIBLE LOVER. Get INTIMATE with it. Soak it in. Love it. pour over it. read it for hours. Beg God to make it real to you. Beg Him to do a work in your heart. read and read and read and read. eat it up like it's sweeter than honey and the honeycomb, like it's more precious than gold, than TV, than sports, than movies, than sex, than ANYTHING. God's given you His very THOUGHTS! ON PAPER! we should be obsessed. but we don't really believe that that's what it is.
