Let me be clear. All of the scripture is inspired, God-breathed, reliable and trustworthy. Just because some passages speak to me with greater force than others says nothing about the inspiration of scripture. But it does say something about me. Discovering your personal canon is actually an excercise in self-discovery.
It’s an exercise I recommend. Why not set aside time and review your history with God, especially with respect to the inspired text he has preserved for each of us. The Spiritual Director at my retreat called is “the Canon within the Canon” and in my opinion you should set aside time to discover yours.
