Several years ago I was sent an article that was written by a Catholic. The beginning of the article talked about the great burden it is to study the Bible. After all, the author reasoned, we are all just so busy. There is just not the time for us to study the Bible on our own. He then talked about the great blessing we have in the Catholic Church. He argued that we really do not have to study, we can just listen to what the Church tells us. And what a comfort to know that we do not have to bother with taking the time ourselves to study God’s word.
This is an example of a great problem in religion - many do not want to study. They come up with different excuses - they are busy, they do not understand, etc. So instead of studying the Bible, they look for shortcuts - ways to get around having to study much themselves. I want us to consider some of these “shortcuts” and notice what the Bible has to say about them.
