I heard a pastor on the radio say that he is “convicted” every time he opens the Bible and reads from it.

He said something always “pricks” him.

That is what the Law does.

It always prompts you to be sin-conscious.

Instead of thankfulness, joy and faith, you are filled with guilt, sorrow and doubt.

A person like this opens the Bible expecting conviction, correction and a painful “prick” instead of expectantly looking forward to it as an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s nature, Love and Word to them.

– Bishop Joshua Maynard
