The Task Of The Prophet Is Not

There Is Nothing Terribly Difficult In The Bible - At Least In A Technical Way. The Bible Is Written In Street Language, Common Language. Most Of It Was Oral And Spoken To Illiterate People. They Were The First Ones To Receive It. So When We Make Everything Academic, We Lose Something.

It Is Easier To Find Guides, Someone To Tell You What To Do, Than Someone To Be With You In A Discerning, Prayerful Companionship As You Work It Out Yourself. This Is What Spiritual Direction Is.

That's Why I Tell Stories: To Create Readiness, To Nudge The People Toward Receptive Insight. In Their Present State They Can Stare Till Doomsday And Not See It, Listen Till They're Blue In The Face And Not Get It.

My Job Is Not To Solve People's Problems Or Make Them Happy, But To Help Them See The Grace Operating In Their Lives.

Our Father In Heaven, Reveal Who You Are. Set The World Right; Do What's Best - As Above, So Below. Keep Us Alive With Three Square Meals. Keep Us Forgiven With You And Forgiving Others. Keep Us Safe From Ourselves And The Devil. You're In Charge!
