Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we're at our worst. Luke 6:35 (The Message)
----------------
"We Christians should be well trained through our Bible reading to see how God's sovereignty is worked out through the lives of frail, willful, disobedient -- sometimes repentant and sometimes not -- men and women who are created to live to God's glory. That is what keeps us reading this story over and over again and finding it "good news."
In the moral maelstrom of our age, people ask, "How do we keep our moral equilibrium with stories [about people with questionable lifestyles] in the middle of our Bibles?" and the answer is this: "By keeping them in the middle of our Bibles." "
