This is classic Lee.
Lee often warned us about reading the Bible "incorrectly." Why, however, did he not warn us about reading his own books?

Ohio,
I think you are doing a switching thing when you claim or pretend that God's Word is not the Bible. It is according to Piper.
Piper said:
"We believe that the Bible is the Word of God" ~- John Piper.

When Piper said the more of God's Word we know and love, he is referring to the Bible, the Scripture. In fact, I wish Piper would draw the distinction between God's Word and the Bible, because then he would be closer to the truth.
