1:01:51 Thank you for listening to this episode of Cumberland Road. If you enjoyed my conversation with Ben, please check out the other wonderful guests who have gone before him in sharing their faith. In closing is a quote from William Willemon, one of Ben's writers that he referenced earlier. The bible requires being read constantly and regularly, all of it, to modern readers accustomed bible can come across to us as a mess. To be sure, one encounters inconsistencies and contradictions, to say nothing of downright bad ideas in the bible. Scripture has a marvelous way of arguing with itself, correcting itself, one witness giving counter testimony to another. Scripture is a record of people's determination to hear god truthfully and then to follow god faithfully.
