From Background Notes [BN] for Jan 23rd & 24th written by
Pastor Bob Brown:
So often our lives can feel aimless,
as we rush from one situation to another, from one technique to another in hopes
of finding something that will give our lives purpose and meaning. In the 50's
it was the power of positive thinking...
...in the 60's it was astrology, the
Age of Aquarius , in the 70's it was TM, Transcendental Meditation - in the
80's it was sensory isolation tanks, in the 90's it was technology, computers
and the Internet — all promising to help us achieve the fulfillment that we
desperately desired. But none of them is our center, none of them is our calm
in the storms of life, none of them is our peace, the peace that surpasses all
understanding. And none of them is the agency which brings us to the summit we
are climbing. God is our source for all that and Scripture is the testimony,
Scripture is the witness to that God, Scripture is the way in, Scripture
embodies the wisdom of God. We can and do know God in nature, in relationships,
in worship, in service — but Scripture not only tells the story, its wisdom
invites us into the story so that we become part of the story. [BN,16]
