We dont live by faith by reading a rule book, or following a map, or working through a career development program. We do not begin with things, or pieces of paper, or ideas, or feelings, or deeds, or successes. Anyone who has learned the first thing about freedom to fail prefers to fail with Peter than to succeed with Judas.
The Scriptures not only reveal everything of who God is but also everything of who we are.
“The Bible is not only written about us but to us.”
God is presented to us not in ideas and arguments but in events and actions that involve each of us personally.
Excerpted from 'This Hallelujah Banquet' (WaterBrook)
"I want to be as human as Jesus was human ... to live the Jesus Way, robustly human. And I want to do it with you."
Eugene Peterson: "There’s probably no vocation in which you’re able to be yourself, with your whole self as a pastor."
