you've almost reached five million!

600 points away! It really doesn't mean anything though since the overall rankings have disappeared, and seeing how the study and knowledge of the Word is more important than the point system. I have seen how others have stopped once they reached a high score plateau, or how some have blazed through verses to get a high score quickly. Self worth through points? Wouldn't you call that idolatry?

It depends on why people blaze through verses. If it is to prove to themselves their own self-worth, then yes it is a form of idolatry. But if they have some other reason, such as to simply meditate on God's Word as much as possible because they desire to know Him better, then the motive is good. Only God truly knows our hearts.

As we've discussed before, and I'm sure we agree, the points are "fun" but they pale in comparison to the true meaning and value of this website. :)

Agreed.
