Questions

Closing Thoughts
The Bible is not a book for the faint of heart
- it is a book full of all the greed and glory
and violence and tenderness and sex and
betrayal that benefits mankind. It is not the
collection of pretty little anecdotes mouthed
by pious little church mice - it does not so
much nibble at our shoe leather as it cuts to
the heart and splits the morrow from the
bone. It does not give us answers fitted to
our small-minded questions, but truth that
goes beyond what we can even know to ask.
from Thoughts and Reflections by Rich Mullins

Closing Thoughts
• God wants us to know Him
• Our relationship with Him
changes us
• Those changes give testimony
to the world about the reality
of God
