One of the greatest rewards that we ever receive for serving God is the permission to do still more for him.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
“Life isn’t an accumulation of abstractions such as love and truth, sin and salvation, atonement and holiness; life is…names and fingerprints, street numbers and local weather, a lamb for supper, and a flat tire in the rain. God reveals Himself to us not in a metaphysical formulation or a cosmic fireworks display but in the kind of stories we use to tell our children who they are and how to grow up as human beings…The story is the Gospel way. The story isn’t imposed on our lives; it invites us into its life…The Holy Spirit weaves all this storytelling into the vast and holy literary architecture that reveals God to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit…to get this revelation right, we enter into the story.”
