Doctrine Is A Wonderful Servant And A

There's Way Too Much Wonder And Mystery All Around Us To Not Stay Open To More That's Going On Here. You Can Wake Up, And Sense And Feel And Taste And Hear A Whole World Right Here Within This One, Right Here In This Breath You're About To Take.

To Make It Really Clear And Simple, Let's Call This Movement Across History We See In Passages Like The Ones We Just Looked At From Exodus And Deuteronomy Clicks. What We See Is God Meeting People At The Click They're At, And Then Drawing Them Forward.when They're At F, God Calls Them To G.when We're At L, God Calls Us To M.and If We're Way Back There At A, God Meets Us Way Back There At A And Does What God Always Does: Invites Us Forward To B.

If This Understanding Of The Good News Of Jesus Prevailed Among Christians, The Belief That Jesus’s Message Is About How To Get Somewhere Else, You Could Possibly End Up With A World In Which Millions Of People Were Starving, Thirsty, And Poor; The Earth Was Being Exploited And Polluted; Disease And Despair Were Everywhere; And Christians Weren’t Known For Doing Much About It. If It Got Bad Enough, You Might Even Have People Rejecting Jesus Because Of How His Followers Lived. That Would Be Tragic.

Love Frees Us To Embrace All Of Our History, The History In Which All Things Are Being Made New.

For A Lot Of People In Our World Today, God Has Become About Believing The Right Stuff So You Don't Get In Trouble.
