Subject: Why would we de-value story-telling? |
Bible Note: "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 |
