So, I’m sitting with a good friend and having a conversation. Then there is a great twist of phrase, and all of a sudden I’m asking for a pad of paper and writing furiously as he repeats his saying! He’s invited me back, but next time I have to bring my own pad of paper!
Here is a bit of the phrases I jotted down:
* God has decided to become obvious in me (a bit about how we talk to people about the God they cannot see).
* In our non-abilities we are called to show off God.
* Jesus had trouble convincing most people even though he knew what the full Gospel was (on asking the question, what is the Gospel?, and what are the implications of that?).
* The religious institution/church of Jesus’ day was a fighting place (Jesus realized the institution of his day was contrary to what gave empowerment)
