To obtain the gold within, we need to do the hard work of mining for it. Those who spend time mining the Scriptures will be saturated and satiated with the riches found contained within them.

Christians who believe in the inspiration of Scripture would say that all Scripture is equally inspired, but can we say that all Scripture is equally profitable? How is a book like Leviticus profitable for a New Testament Christian? It’s a very challenging book to read and understand. If we cannot understand most of it, how can we glean application for our lives? How can a study of difficult passages and books like Leviticus help us grow in our Christian walk? These questions, and more, are asked and answered today on the Straight Truth Podcast. Join in on the conversation and hear what Dr. Josh Philpot and Dr. Richard Caldwell share about the profitability of reading, meditating, and studying all Scripture, including those difficult sections that seem unprofitable to us. Dr. Caldwell says that sometimes we read the Bible having too much of a man-centered approach. Before jumping ahead and asking how does this apply to me, we might want to first ask what does this teach me about God. If we start with this thought in our minds when we read difficult sections of Scripture and challenging books like Leviticus, then, we might be surprised by how profitable all Scripture really is.  So, let's consider the book of Leviticus. Leviticus has context. It was meant to operate in the life of the nation of Israel; it had very specific purposes from a national point of view. It was not only purposeful but practical as well. The book of Leviticus reveals God’s attention to detail.
