I always enjoy the columns that Andree Seu writes for World Magazine. In this article, “Mind Tricks” , Andree reminds us of the need and benefit of exposure to the Scriptures as the only source of what to believe and how to live. She draws insight from C.S. Lewis’ A Grief Observed. Good stuff. Here is an excerpt:

When I drift away from close daily intimacy with [God] in his Word, I begin, ever so subtly, to reconstruct him in my own image. This process begins to happen some time before I realize it, of course, when I am still convinced that I know exactly who God is. It’s only when I come back to the Bible that I realize how dangerously close I had come to constructing an idol — a god made to look and sound like the desires and opinions of Andree Seu.
