The Bible is God's Word given in man's language

In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes; they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. A story can do that in kind of a Trojan-horse fashion.

One person told me that Christians believe in a king. We believe in a King Jesus who oversees the affairs of mankind. Maybe we're reaching for an earthly king.

God is always near us. Always for us. Always in us.

I'd like to think I'm going upriver in talking about world-view topics rather than particular political or controversial topics.

I firmly believe that the purpose of life is not this life. It is to equip us, whatever our role is going to be in the next life. And understanding God's story is really where I find the significance and purpose in my own story.

The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.
