Have you noticed that church folk get all weird about The Bible? Depending on your perspective – you might consider the Bible an inerrant set of sacrosanct rules that came straight out of God’s very mouth.
You might think it a bunch of great stories and helpful moral guidance written by people who had a close relationship with God – like Jesus.
Or, you might think it’s just a bunch of hoo-ha that has absolutely no application in your life.
Whatever their perspective though church folk often refer to the Bible as God’s Holy Word.
I think that what makes the words holy is what we do with them.
When the words in the Bible are used as a weapon – they are as profane and ugly as the twisted intentions being wielded.
When the words in the Bible are used as a tool for love – they are sacred and sacramental.
So how do you choose how to use all those weird words?
Well, there’s an app for that.
- caring communities collaborating and connecting to the Source,
- loving learners listening to the Spirit and each other,
- humble humans guided by ancient ideas and modern wisdom…
…this is what gets us to love – every time.
There is an app for that – and it is us.
For more about how to connect to that really smart App, click on the link below for last week’s Sermon on #Adulting.
And join us this Sunday for worship onsite or online – because everybody needs a little sanctuary and a road map for how to live out love.
See you soon.
