"Here's a story I hear a lot. You're visiting a new church or attending the one you call home, when the pastor asks everyone to grab a Bible, open it up - "Please turn to Matthew chapter 25, verse 14" - and read along with him. On the back of the cushy auditoriou chair directly in front of you, you see a spiffy red Bible that some wonderfully efficient staff person has placed there, correctly anticipating your current need. Instinctively, you reach for it and crack it open. Problem is, you don't have the slightest clue where Matthew is or how on God's green earth you'll ever find Matthew chapter 25 in time, much less verse 14. As you begin to fumble your way through a few pages, searching in vain for Matthew, your eyes glace to your left, where you notice that your neighbor is already safely home in Matthew and, smiling confidently, ready to read. A few butterflies begin to flutter in your stomach as you contemplate your next move. At that moment, you have two options: 1) fake it, smile and pretend that everything is okay; or 2) turn to that smug-looking person on your left and say, "Excuse me - but where exactly is Matthew?" If this is you - you've come to the right place...
