Some of us have fond memories growing up and learning Bible stories that made us curious or confused or interested or even angry. Others were taught that we must believe every word of the Bible literally...or we really don't believe the Bible at all. Some were taught in college that the Bible is merely a book of literature full of contradictions and historical inaccuracies. And, still others were led to believe the Bible is an instruction manual that if read carefully, will have the answers to everything from climate change to whether to be vegan. There are huge problems with these approaches. In fact, many humans have turned their backs on the wisdom in this great book because of hanging on to a misguided perspective. This week, Michael Bischof continues our series called "For the Bible Tells Me So" by considering our own journeys with the Bible and asking the question, "How are we taken care of?" The Bible is a book with many stories of deliverance and freedom, and the best news is that it still offers each of us deliverance in more than one way today.
