Great Quote and Recommendation

"we discover what the shape and the inner life of the church ought to be only when we look first at the church's mission, and we discover what the church's mission is only when we look first at God's purpose for the entire world, as indicated in, for instance, Genesis 1-2, Genesis 12, Isaiah 40-55, Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 15, Ephesians 1, and Revelation 21-22. We read scripture in order to be refreshed in our memory and understanding of the story within which we ourselves are actors, to be reminded where it has come from and where it is going to, and hence what our own part within it ought to be." ~ N.T. Wright

 

I encourage you to read these important chapters of the Bible and see if it doesn't refresh your own memory, encourage you, and free you from self-obsessed religion into glad service to our King and redeemer!
