1 | Why would we de-value story-telling? | Genesis | Just Read Mark | 84896 | ||
Thank you for the story. Obviously, this kind of story is not substitute for pouring over the Scriptures --- but it does help to clarify the major structure. Plus it's fun to read. It is good to put the gospel in our own words, because it helps us to internalize it deeply. (Like when the angel tells John, "Eat this scroll.") Is the story you summarized called "The Divine Romance"? My sister read a book by that title and like it, but haven't read it. |

2 | Why would we de-value story-telling? | Genesis | Mommapbs | 84906 | ||
"The Sacred Romance" is by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge. I wrote this little "story" after hearing John Eldredge speak. I agree, that one must pour through God's Word, but after we have internalized HIS story, we are often better equipped to see it re-told within the context of our own lives. When I attend a liturgical worship service, I am amazed and blessed as I see the Word of God come alive through the writings of men. But would it if I didn't have God's Word first? Knowing that so few parishioners have a firm grasp of the Scriptures, I often wonder if they are receiving the blessing that I have experienced . . . God's Word does not return to Him without producing what He has planned though does it? Perhaps even shallow worship will draw others into desiring the deeper waters with the Lord. Just some thoughts. mommapbs |
