<i>Veritas est Immortalis</i>: Feeding on the Bible like a Shrew

Veritas est Immortalis

"If the Church is not in possession of truth, truth as an understanding that corresponds exactly to what is in reality, and...exactly to what is in the will and character of God, then it has been left speechless. It has nothing to say" (David Wells). But never forget: "Divine Truth is immortal, and though it may long be bound, scourged, crowned with thorns, crucified and laid in a grave, yet on the third day it will rise again victoriously and will reign and triumph eternally" (Hubmaier).

Feeding on the Bible like a Shrew

I just saw a brief part of a TV show about a shrew (learn more about shrews here and here if you really want to know about them), a small mammal that never stops eating, consuming three times it's body weight in food PER DAY!!!

My thought as I watched was "Oh, that I would long for (cf. 1 Pet 2:2) God's Word like the shrew longs for food!"

By the way, it is this longing for the Bible that was not being satisfied in the Christians responding to the Willow Creek survey mentioned below.
