That video was AMAZING! Thank God the Bible is not about me. If it were I would never measure up.
What’s said is many people will take the Bible and make it all about themselves. We also have done that with the gospel. I hope that God will raise up more pastors proclaiming that the Bible is all about God and the gospel is about God reaching out to sinners through the Person of Jesus Christ.
