Challies posted a great article titled “If the Bible Is Wrong, I’m So, So Wrong” which makes all sorts of great points about the things scripture teaches that are contrary to our culture.

When it comes to the Bible, we’ve all got a choice to make. We can take the Bible on our terms, or on its terms. We can choose to follow it some of the way, or we can choose to follow it all the way. We can dabble in it, or we can dive deep into it. At some point we have to choose.
Many people choose to relate to the Bible like a map that offers a route, but not the route to their destination. They’ll follow it some of the way, but for at least part of the journey take what looks like an easier path. Many people choose to relate to the Bible like one item at a buffet. They’ll put a bit of Bible on their plate, then also a bit of this and a bit of that.

I’ve come to realize I’m so all-in that if the Bible is wrong, I’m wrong.
