We’re cautioned against
consuming the contents of our Bible, cafeteria style, meaning selecting only our
favorite morsels and disregarding the rest. While I don’t disagree with that
admonition, the truly essential ingredient in scripture is Christ’s message of
hope, faith and charity. If taken outside the context of Christ’s message of
love, many scriptures are easily misconstrued. There are far too many people in
the world today who’ve been led to believe that being gut-wrenchingly
conservative is the same thing as following the Savior. Suffice it to say, I disagree. If your actions don’t show compassion and
mercy, best dust off your Bible, because you’re not following Christ. SC
