God is not safe. God is not a household deity, kept in our safekeeping. And – be warned – God's safety is not our business. Our role on this earth, be it prophet, king, priest, or bank teller, is not to keep the Almighty from mishap or embarrassment. He takes care of Himself. (pg 30)
When I read this I was like... "That's right!" Such a good start to the book. God is God :)
I have a proposal: that we start taking our Bible raw and uncut... I propose, that we eat the entire thing, stringy bits, gristle, bones and all. I propose we practice the holy habit of reading the Holy Bible whole (pg 204)
This was a "bang on" quote too. :) How many times have you guys been in church and the person reading the Bible will skip parts that are too graphic or too hard to explain (for instance Psalm 139:19-22) 2 Timothy 3:16 says that "ALL Scripture is God-breathed", not just the nice loving parts.
