When will we…
When will we stop reading Scripture …
As “an owners manual” for life.
As a book that justifies our own hatred.
As a book that justifies our own righteousness.
As a book that justifies our own cultural milieu.
As a list of rules that everyone else is breaking.
As a book full of little bite sized “truth nuggets”.
As “Jesus’ Guide to Good Morality”.
When will we begin reading Scripture…
Without looking for 3 points and finding appropriate alliterations, because the story itself just isn’t enough?
As a story versus a list of logical, systematic categorizations?
With our eye on where God is taking this whole thing-namely A New Creation.
As the tale of God’s broken, fallible followers.
As a five part play, in which act 5 is not yet written.
As a beautiful, sweeping narrative of God’s actions in the world.
