Here is a quote from the book I am reading... "Christianity has become primarily a strategy for "victory", but it is an individual victory over debt, obesity, or low self-esteem, not a collective victory over injustice, poverty, war, or environmental degradation. Faith has become essentially an individual transaction and the image of God is that of a personal trainer. Much preaching today is framed as an invitation to God to come into our story, but the biblical invitation is radically different. We are being invited into God's story."
Think about that for a while...
Whose story is it? And who is invited into that story?
I firmly believe that it is God's story that God invites us into! And when we understand our faith relationship with God that way, it changes our view of God! and of ourselves for that matter!
