More Shack Attack

The Good News Today Is....more lessons from The Shack. All I can say right now is "too bad this book is fiction." I think I really like this view of heaven and God. What it does reminds us is that we really have no idea what heaven is like, or what God looks like, or what God is really thinking. We just can't go there - we aren't supposed to get it - if we knew it all we would be God. We are supposed to live out of faith and relationship. Now that's a one sentence message summary of the entire bible! Reading The Shack was like reading a series of billboard messages about free will, forgiveness, faith, relationships, love...all these things we're supposed to know about but they get lost in the world in which we live. Reading this story brought all of this stuff back into the forefront where it belongs. "We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us." 1Cr 2:12
