Rightly Divided Quotes

“As an aside, every Bible reader should be transparent enough to recognize he comes to the Bible with some biases, some presuppositions, and some strongly held beliefs that he assumes / hopes / believes the Bible teaches. Many times, the Bible will confirm those beliefs. However, at times it may insist that we change our beliefs to conform to the Bible. The Bible does not conform to us; we conform to it!”
― J. Michael Lester, Rightly Divided: a beginner's guide to bible study
