Better than T-Tapp
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12
I've been working through the prophets of the old testament (except Isaiah since I find that book unreasonably intimidating!) because I haven't really spent much time there when not reading chronologically through the bible. I just thought it would be interesting and probably had something I should know it it. I have been struck at the historical accuracy of it all. The fate of nations called by *name*. The prophecies fulfilled that even I can't miss. It's convicting. It's not to messed with. It's to be taken seriously and wrestled with. It's not something to be ignored. It must be answered. A decision must be made on what to do with the text. Even though greater minds than mine have battled it out for millennia I still have to make the battle mine and answer for it.
Yes, renewing daily my mind, challenging my pre-conceptions of the Creator of the Universe, making sense of the hard, gruesome, terrifying, lovely, hopeful, bigger than just me and my 21st century world stories that are more than just stories is vital.
