Get Used
Milt over at Transforming Sermons is reading Karl Barth, and as a result has this to say
The job of the Christian is not to make the Bible "relevant" to the world in which we live. The Christian, rather, is called to make his or her heart open to the "strange new world" the Bible presents. In other words, we do not use the Word as much as we allow the Word to use us, to reshape us. To do that, we have to approach the Bible with faith.What do you bring to scripture when you read it? Well drop it and try again.
