Scripture not as entertaining

"Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory." 2 Corinthians 3:7-10

How come most of us just skimmed through that passage to get to what my comment down here was first? We are too impatient. And of course, we already know what the Scriptures says, and we don't really need to read it again because we're sure it won't impact us again in a new, different, and fresh way. Even if we knew it would impact us again, we don't really have time for it.

I noticed how bad I am at this the other day. I like to listen to sermons often, probably twice a week. Almost every time, I tune out during the preacher's reading of the text, sometimes even fast forward. It's as if him reading Scripture is wasting my time; he should get on with the good stuff.
