The technology that allows men and women to have the Bible at their fingertips at all times is an amazing gift from God, but it didn't change the nature of God's plan for the sanctification and growth of his people at a fundamental level. Men and women still grow primarily in the context of the church.

Who is the Bible written to? Overarchingly, the gathered people of God. This isn’t to say that we as individuals can’t or shouldn’t read it—far from it! But our main source of spiritual nourishment is feasting on God’s Word alongside his gathered people—the church. This is who the Bible is primarily written for.
