to imagine this formless, liquid abyss of many waters and surfaces. With and

being in this fathomless, multi-dimensional matrix.”

Learned to Ask the Questions

Francis A. Schaeffer, How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western
Thought and Culture
“People
need to use their intelligence to evaluate what they find to be true and untrue
in the Bible. This is how we need to live life generally. Everything we hear
and see we need to evaluate—whether the inspiring writings of the Bible or the
inspiring writings of Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, or George Eliot, of Ghandi,
Desmond Tutu, or the Dalai Lama.”

A.W. Tozer, Man - The Dwelling Place Of God
“When
the Bible itself becomes irksome, inquire whether you have not been spoiling
your appetite by sweetmeats and renounce them; and believe that the Word is the
wire along which the voice of God will certainly come to you if the heart is
hushed and the attention fixed.”

F.B. Meyer
“There's
a way to preach the Bible unbiblically...You can use the Bible as the
springboard for all kinds of ideas, can't you? Look around in here and find
something that fits your fancy and then launch a rocket off it. People say,
'That was amazing, wasn't it? Remarkable what he got out of that.' Well of
course it is because he put it in before he got it out.”

Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One
School at a Time
“Call
it the Human Mission-to be all and do all God sent us here to do. And
notice-the mission to be fruitful and conquer and hold sway is given both to
Adam and to Eve. 'And God said to them...' Eve is standing right there when God
gives the world over to us. She has a vital role to play; she is a partner in
this great adventure. All that human beings were intended to do here on
earth-all the creativity and exploration, all the battle and rescue and
nurture-we were intended to do together. In fact, not only is Eve needed, but
she is desperately needed.
When
God creates Eve, he calls her an ezer kenegdo. 'It is not good for the man to
be alone, I shall make him [an ezer kenegdo]' (Gen. 2:18 Alter). Hebrew scholar
Robert Alter, who has spent years translating the book of Genesis, says that
this phrase is 'notoriously difficult to translate.' The various attempts we
have in English are "helper" or "companion" or the
notorious "help meet." Why are these translations so incredibly
wimpy, boring, flat...disappointing? What is a help meet, anyway? What little
girl dances through the house singing "One day I shall be a help
meet?" Companion? A dog can be a companion. Helper? Sounds like Hamburger
Helper. Alter is getting close when he translates it "sustainer beside
him"
The
word ezer is used only twenty other places in the entire Old Testament. And in
every other instance the person being described is God himself, when you need
him to come through for you desperately.”
