BOOK OF THE MONTH
What's your focus in life? Is it on finding solutions to your problems, or is it on Finding God?
Enlarging Our Vision
When life takes a downward turn, most of us rush to respond in one of two ways: Either we search for a formula to make life work again through our increased efforts, or we become absorbed with understanding what went wrong and how we were harmed by it. Neither response enlarges our vision of God’s grace nor empowers us to love well.
“”God is always up to something. Our job is to remain sensitive to whatever that may be. We can be sure of this: when the Spirit blows, terrifying disruption and seductive enticement will be felt. Old foundations will crumble, and we will fall to greater heights. His delight is to lift us to another dimension that feels both eerily strange and warmly familiar. It is difficult to enter a reality that we can’t see. But when the Spirit opens the door, when we catch a glimpse of the other side, we cannot stay where we’ve been.”
– Dr. Larry Crabb, Finding God, page 60

If connecting is what God has made us for, and if this is what the Holy Spirit equips us to do, then why don't more of us connect with one another? Larry Crabb's answer is developed around four analogies. We tend to be either city builders, fire lighters, wall whitewashers, or well diggers.
