I had no formal training in computers, but I always had the knack for them. This knack landed me a job as an IT troubleshooter during the early stages of modern computer development.
One day I set up a bunch of computer stations. I hooked up a keyboard and it wouldn’t work so I called a real technician.
He came and in a couple of minutes it was working. He installed something that he called a, “bias,” in the keyboard. With this bias installed, the keyboard would work with that computer and only that computer. Fast forward to my experience as a student at The Washington Bible College where I began and completed my undergraduate studies.
I did not realize it at the time, but during my studies, they installed a Bible bias in me. To be specific, it was a bias toward the literal interpretation of Scripture. Like the biased keyboard my spirit is biased for the Word of God. It wakes up, engages, interacts and finds it’s joy in the Bible and it refuses — well, let me back up and put it like the Apostle Paul put it:
”…when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
Moses Had a Bible bias. He said,
“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.” (Deuteronomy 11:18) He had a Bible bias.
Yes. I am biased toward the Word of God. It works and I love it. What about you?
