I think a story is an attention grabber. I think it's a truth conveyor. Those are two great features of a good story.

God will restore his planet and his children to their Garden of Eden splendor. It'll be perfect. Perfect in grandeur. Perfect in righteousness. Perfect in harmony.

In order to find Jesus, every one of us needs direction. God gives it. The story of the wise men shows us how. The star sign was enough to lead the magi to Jerusalem. But it took Scripture to lead them to Jesus.

I believe a personal relationship with God is healthy, but organized religion has potential for danger, in whatever faith.

What did Jesus come to do? God saves.

We're all travelers, all sojourners.

When all of earth turns against you, all of heaven turns toward you.
