“One practical problem of this text mania is that the Bible, unlike the church, can’t answer questions, clarify earlier statements, arbitrate disagreements or deal with new developments. So those in search of religious certainty have to find it all in the text: if it says the earth was created in six days, or that gay sex is an abomination, them’s the facts, end of story. And if it forbids charging interest, well there’s always wriggle room.
In the law of God when a thing is written once it is binding. When it is written twice it is certain and shall surely come to pass. All who receive it and who accept the obligations1 contained in the message become the objects of that message’s fulfillment.

Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars (II Chronicles 16:7-9).”
“The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces (Proverbs 30:28).”

A rather infamous atheist was once asked, “Should you die and find yourself facing the God you have denied and forsaken; what will you say?
He answered, “I will say you didn’t explain it to me adequately.”
Things are bad. Things are really bad. You hear the news and all the conflicting reports about the economy, but you know, inside your head and inside your heart, things are bad. You just don’t know how bad.
Without an agenda, you have no mission.
