love wins…
i started reading love wins by rob bell today. ive heard its caused some controversies etc. and i can see why. he raises some very interesting questions, and tries to provide some answers, and he does go back to the bible (when i started i thought it might be just his opinions from what i’d heard, but he really does explain how he believes what he is saying is biblical). Im not sure how much i agree with what he writes, im still getting my head round it and i’m only halfway through, but just one part he wrote stood out to me, (although i’m not sure why God’s in a driveway)
“If, however, we crave light,
we’re drawn to truth,
we’re desperate for grace,
we’ve come to the end of our plots and schemes
and we want someone else’s path,
God gives us what we want.
If we have this sense
that we’ve wandered far from home,
and we want to return,
God is there,
standing in the driveway,
arms open,
ready to invite us in.”
