"Snacking (on isolated verses in the Bible) hides things to be sure, but it also distorts the things it does show us. For example, ,the Snacking Bible is not great
news. It has gospel verses, but no gospel, because the gospel is the
announcement of a particular turn of events within an ongoing story. The gospel is not a sentence about
justification by faith or a verse reference on the forgiveness of my sins. The gospel is not the Romans Road. The gospel is not John 3:16. What the apostles Paul and John wrote - what
God's Spirit enkindled in them - was something entirely different than these
boiled-down reductions. Evangelist D. L.
Moody said he could write the gospel on a dime.
Well, Paul and John couldn't, and didn't."
