Each new year it happens: Inevitably, we all take up a grand Bible-reading plan. We start off fast out the gates, usually in Matthew or Genesis, but then, the all-to-often interruption occurs and we stop. The stop has many reasons, but I want to try to diagnose one today. 

We stop reading the Bible because we start merely reading the Bible. 

Soli Deo Gloria is the Latin motto that really encompasses all the other Solas. The phrase translated to English means “To God Alone Glory.” Everything redounds to the glory of God, and that is especially true in salvation.
