"Imagination is one of the essential ministries in nurturing the life of faith. For faith is not a leap out of the everyday but a plunge into its depths." - Eugene Peterson, Run With the Horses | The church in eternity will appear more lovely, but it will not be more loved. - Megan Hill, A Place to Belong
The Worthy Lamb - Rev. Chris Currie | 9.29.24
The gaze of God is both what we fear and what we can't do without. Scripture makes it clear that apart from God's coming to us and opening our eyes, we cannot know him truly. Talk about epistemic difficulties! For us to know him, he must know us first. Our knowing is warped, especially when it comes to knowing God, because of human rebellion against God. There is something inside us that doesn't want to know him, even as another part of us does. Our blindness thus requires the terror of his meeting us. - Esther Meek, Longing to Know
