In an age of information overload ... the last thing any of us needs is more information about God. We need the practice of incarnation, by which God saves the lives of those whose intellectual assent has turned them dry as dust, who have run frighteningly low on the Bread of Life, who are dying to know more God in their bodies. Not more about God. More God.
Rachel Held EvansWe could not become like God, so God became like us. God showed us how to heal instead of kill, how to mend instead of destroy, how to love instead of hate, how to live instead of long for more. When we nailed God to a tree, God forgave. And when we buried God in the ground. God got up.
Rachel Held EvansWe are not spared death, but the power of death has been defeated. The grip of sin has been loosed. We are invited to share the victory, to follow the path of God back to life.
Rachel Held EvansScripture doesn't speak of people who found God. Scripture speaks of people who walked with God.
Rachel Held EvansFaith isn't about having everything figured out ahead of time; faith is about following the quiet voice of God without having everything figured out ahead of time.
