I never listen to audio if the text is right in front of me. But I figured there might be a sonic blessing here for me this morning. This really spoke to me. Thank you.
I didn't expect to be so richly blessed this evening. "Questions are not the work of the devil"
In my work life, I ask many questions to understand clearly what is expected of me. Things tend to go off the rails when I neglect to ask questions and make too many assumptions. Questions bring clarity.
"When we understand God as some authoritarian whose desire is punishment, judgement, and domination—instead of a Creator whose desire is to see us whole and thriving—we have fallen for the deception of the serpent in the garden." Beautiful! I love your writing that also feels so much like really good preaching (I imagine it's very close to the same thing!)
Questions are not a work of the devil. A to the men!
What a powerful reclamation of this weaponized text!
