I was reading a little Donald Miller yesterday. Blue like jazz, and Searching for God knows what, are two of his many books. I have to admit that I had a little trouble following him sometimes, but he was talking about Christianity and the Bible. He was making the point that western Christianity has turned everything into formulas and bullet points.
He said, imagine the Christian faith before there were formula books and bullet points. Imagine reading the Bible without being predisposed to looking for or finding formulas and bullet points. When we lose our bent to control everything thru bullet points and formulas, Christianity again becomes a relationship and the Bible returns to being the rich story of God that is was intended. The mystery and the wonder returns. And I am smiling about that thought.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
