Surrendering to the Bible

'Scripture to which one surrenders... uncritically, leads... to indistinguishability between faith and superstition'

E. Kasemann

This is true, at least, in some cases: I open the Bible one day in a random page hoping to find an answer to an important question and happen to find a text that (apparently) answers it. Is this God answering my question or is it me trying to make sense of some words I have just read? And leaving that question aside for a moment, what kind of God will I end up believing in if it becomes a habit to open the Bible at random every time I need some answer to my questions?

Two questions worth thinking about...
