Food For Thought

I started reading A Practical View of Christianity by William Wilberforce. I can already tell it is going to challenge my faith and spiritual practices. This is from the first chapter:

“The truth is, their opinions on these subjects are not formed from the perusal of the word of God. The Bible lies on the shelf unopened and they would be wholly ignorant of its contents, except for what they hear occasionally at church, or for the faint traces which their memories may still retain of the lessons of their earliest infancy.”

How many of my views are based on my own thinking or on what other people tell me and not founded on scripture?
