"The biblical way is not to present us with a moral code and tell us ‘Live up to this,’ nor is it to set out a system of doctrine and say, ‘Think like this and you will live well.’ The biblical way is to tell a story that takes place on solid ground, is peopled with men and women that we recognize as being much like us, and then to invite us, ‘Live into this. This is what it looks like to be human. This is what is involved in entering and maturing as human beings.’"
– Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places.
How would you summarize the story of the Bible? How do you step into this story to live it on a daily basis?
