The Bible tells a story. A story that isnโt over. A story that is still being told. A story that we have a part to play in.

Rob BellIf this understanding of the good news of Jesus prevailed among Christians, the belief that Jesusโs message is about how to get somewhere else, you could possibly end up with a world in which millions of people were starving, thirsty, and poor; the earth was being exploited and polluted; disease and despair were everywhere; and Christians werenโt known for doing much about it. If it got bad enough, you might even have people rejecting Jesus because of how his followers lived. That would be tragic.
