How Do We Do It?

Allen Arnold “The Eden Option”

Story 1 is the original true story we were made for – a way of life with God at the epicenter.

Story 2 is the default narrative we’re born into. It tries to make life work without God’s active, intimate presence.

Nicholas Wolterstorff “Lament for a Son”

“I look across the landscape and remember the times I tried to occupy this land, land that God had promised me. The enemy seemed to own it. And every time I tried to lay hold of my promised place, he’d get loud and throw dirt in my eyes. Sometimes I’d gain inches but never the land. But then the Battle came. Satan seemed to have a renewed resolve to take me out. I felt sure this fire storm would be the end of me. But I knew I was on the winning side. I learned the enemy does not have endless strength. I learned that worship on the battlefield is really the most powerful form of spiritual warfare. I realized that my heart for Jesus and His heart for me would be the devils undoing. My enemy is jealous of me. I threatened him. Why? I have the Spirit of the living God mightily at work within me. I stand on the edges of this land and marvel. I am not who I was before this Battle. I don’t have the fear I once had when the flames rise. I know on a much deeper level what is true about God… and what is true about me.“
