The Bible | Bounded vs. Bullseye
These days, perhaps more than at any other time in history, sincere-hearted Jesus-followers are increasingly engaging in the practice of deconstructing and renovating their faith. And for those on this journey of re-evaluating previously held beliefs and convictions, all roads appear to inevitably lead to one foundational question: What do you do with The Bible? Is it the once-and-for-all, full and final answer to all of life’s questions and challenges? And, if so, why does it seem to leave us with more questions and challenges than it solves? Do its many leather-bound words of warnings serve as an immovable boundary, meant to keep us on the inside of a life that God blesses? And if “the Bible clearly states…” as many things as some Christians claim it does, why are there so many disputes and disagreements about its teachings? How can we approach the Bible in a way that helps us find the bullseye of life of faith?
