Can you become immune to scripture? Maybe immune isn’t the right word but can you reach a point where you can read totally mind-blowing things and see them as just normal. I’m afraid I not only see this happen all the time, I actually find myself doing it. Is it over familiarity with the Bible that breeds this mind set? Is it some inborn desire to water down what confronts us? Is it just boredom on our parts?

There are some wild things in the Bible. Love your enemies, give and expect nothing in return, be willing to be taken advantage of, be merciful to everyone, deserving or not, seek to be a servant. This is just a few of the things that should blow us away but some how we’ve found a way to tame them.

Most of these things are so outrages that we would never consider using them in everyday life because they couldn’t possibly work. How do you love your enemy in business? Who in the world seeks to be taken advantage of? All of these sound like, if some one throws a left hook at you lean into it. That’s bad advice!

So how do we, who have become so insensitive to the word recapture they awe of being exposed to Gods message?
