When the Scriptures are used maturely

When the Scriptures are used maturely, and they become a precursor to meeting the Christ, they proceed in this order:

  1. They confront us with a bigger picture than we are used to, “God’s kingdom” that has the potential to “deconstruct” our false worldviews.

  2. They then have the power to convert us to an alternative worldview by proclamation, grace and the sheer attraction of the good, the true and the beautiful (not by shame, guilt or fear which are low-level motivations).

  3. They then console us and bring deep healing as they “reconstruct” us in a new place with a new mind and heart.

    Thanks for your posting. What I want to say is that when you are evaluating a good internet electronics retail outlet, look for a web site with entire information on important factors such as the security statement, safety measures details, payment procedures, as well as other terms as well as policies. Constantly take time to browse the help and also FAQ pieces to get a far better idea of the way the shop operates, what they can do for you, and in what way you can make best use of the features.
