I am in Buffalo right now, visiting my sister and I keep thinking about the part of A New Kind of Christian when he talks about the Bible and a Math book. I am going to paraphrase, because I left my journal and book at home. I was a small part of a group last night that met and talked about some chapters of the Bible. It was so great listening to how different verses touched different people in such different ways. So, I have been thinking about the Bible a lot.
Brian talks about the Math book by saying that it is a very important thing. Not because it has all of the answers in the back of it, but because you have to work and struggle through it to learn something from it. Is that how we need to approach reading the Bible? Not to find answers; not to say who is right and who is wrong, but to struggle through it, pick it apart, work through the things we do not understand, sharing our thoughts with others...........
What do you think?

I LOVED being a part of going through those scriptures the other night. It was the first time in quite a while that they felt totally alive to me.
I was also thankful for the couple people who could put the context in perspective for me also.
I think it may be a combination of sensing what God is saying in the moment and taking the whole story into account as a whole.
