To spend no time in the Word of God is a tragedy of epic proportions. To elevate career, family, and self-centered endeavors, hobbies, interests, etc., to the extent that they choke out time in God’s Word is idolatry, plain and simple.
To only consume the Word of God in solitude for a “quiet time” or “daily reading” is to forfeit the richness for which the Holy Scriptures were designed. To meme it and not live it is hypocrisy.
To consume and walk in the Word of God with other followers of Jesus, to converse over it, study it, meditate on it, and apply it to all of life in the context of Christian community is to thrive in it and be nurtured and fulfilled by it.
