We believe there is a beautiful story that resonates in our hearts and it is so compelling you don’t have to look hard to find it.
Consider the entertainment industry which banks on the fact we are drawn to stories that begin in harmony, transition to conflict, and end in glorious restoration. Additionally, there is always a villain who destroys harmony and a hero who restores it. This is how we are taught to write stories. It seems we are irresistibly drawn to this model.
Now consider for a moment the possibility that Christianity is not a set of rules or philosophy on how to live, but it is rather a faith that explains why this story has been printed on our hearts. The Bible, the revelation of this story, is not just good advice, but good news. Christianity is simply having faith in that which we have already found to be true in our hearts: we are participants of a grander story in which the author has revealed Himself to us and pursues us!
