RC Sproul, Jr. gives us a gem of an article on loving God and His Word:

Even when we read the Bible, however, we often insulate ourselves from its message. Like dispensationalists on crack, any text that touches on our own sin gets relegated to some other dispensation. That was for then, we tell ourselves. We live in a different culture, we tell ourselves. When the Bible calls into question our own choices and lifestyles we simply wave this magic wand, 'The Bible couldn’t possibly mean that...' We come to His Word with an a priori commitment that it tells us nothing more challenging than 'Be nicer.'
