I love this passage from Eugene Peterson's book "Eat This Book":
Christians feed on Scripture. Holy Scripture nurtures the holy community as food nurtures the human body. Christians don't simply learn or study or use Scripture; we assimilate it; take it into our lives in such a way that it gets metabolized into acts of love, cups of cold water, missions into all the world, healing and evangelism, and justice in Jesus' name, hands raised in adoration of the Father, feet washed in the company of the Son.
Good stuff! Read that several times. The truth of that paragraph will transform how we see (and treat) the Bible.
