Vamos parar pra pensar sobre como desenvolver a fé... Pronunciamos palavras de louvor em um mundo infernal; cantamos cânticos de vitória em um mundo confuso; vivemos a alegria entre pessoas que não nos entendem nem nos encorajam. Porque a fé se desenvolve a partir dos aspectos difíceis da nossa existência, não dos fáceis. Eugene H. Peterson

What Do You See?

A surprise today as an almond tree planted last year has buds set to bloom.

Last fall I preached from the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah begins with the Lord calling him into ministry, but Jeremiah is skeptical of his own abilities and unsure that the Lord will continue with him. Just in that moment, the Lord asks Jeremiah what he sees. Jeremiah is looking at an almond tree (a shoqedin Hebrew). The Lord tells Jeremiah that he sees well, and that in just the same way Jeremiah…

Language is not primarily informational but revelatory. The Holy Scriptures give witness to a living voice sounding variously as Father, Son and Spirit, addressing us personally and involving us personally as participants. This text is not full of words to be studied in the quiet preserves of a library, but a voice to be believed and loved and adored in workplace and playground, on the streets and in the kitchen. Receptivity is required. --- It is useful to reflect that the word 'liturgy' did not originate in church or worship settings. In the Greek world it referred to public service, what a citizen did for the community. As the church used the word in relation to worship, it kept this 'public service' quality - working for the community on behalf of or following orders from God. As we worship God, revealed personally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our Holy Scriptures, we are not doing something apart from or away from the non-Scripture=reading world; we do it for the world - bringing all creation and all history before God, presenting our bodies and all the beauties and needs of humankind before God in praise and intercession, penetrating and serving the world for whom Christ died in the strong name of the Trinity. --- The Holy Scriptures are story-shaped. Reality is story-shaped. The world is story-shaped. Our lives are story-shaped. 'I had always,' wrote G.K. Chesterton in accounting for his Christian belief, 'felt life first as a story, and if there is a story, there is a story-teller.' We enter this story, following the story-making, storytelling Jesus, and spend the rest of our lives exploring the amazing and exquisite details, the words and sentences that go into the making of the story of our creation, salvation, and life of blessing. It is a story chock full of invisibles and intricate with connections. Imagination is required. --- The Christian life requires a form adequate to its content, a form that is at home in the Christian revelation and that respects each person's dignity and freedom with plenty of room for all our quirks and particularities. Story provides that form. The biblical story invites us in as participants in something larger than our sin-defined needs, into something truer than our culture-stunted ambitions. We enter these stories and recognize ourselves as participants, whether willing or unwilling, in the life of God. Unfortunately, we live in an age in which story has been pushed from its biblical frontline prominence to a bench on the sidelines and then condescended to as "illustration" or "testimony" or "inspiration." Our contemporary unbiblical preference, both inside and outside the church, is for information over story. We typically gather impersonal (pretentiously called "scientific" or "theological") information, whether doctrinal or philosophical or historical, in order to take things into our own hands and take charge of how we will live our lives. And we commonly consult outside experts to interpret the information for us. But we don't live our lives by information; we live them in relationships in the context of a personal God who cannot be reduced to formula or definition, who has designs on us for justice and salvation. And we live them in an extensive community of men and women, each person an intricate bundle of experience and motive and desire. Picking a text for living that is characterized by information-gathering and consultation with experts leaves out nearly everything that is uniquely us - our personal histories and relationships, our sins and guilt, our moral character and believing obedience to God. Telling and listening to a story is the primary verbal way of accounting for life the way we live it in actual day-by-day reality. There are no (or few) abstractions in a story. A story is immediate, concrete, plotted, relational, personal. And so when we lose touch with our lives, with our souls - our moral, spiritual, embodied God-personal lives - story is the best verbal way of getting us back in touch again. And that is why God's word is given for the most part in the form of story, this vast, overarching, all-encompassing story, this meta-story.

Eat This Book, Eugene Peterson

Hoje completa-se um ano da morte de Eugene Peterson. Pastor presbiteriano, conhecido por ser responsável pela Bíblia "A Mensagem", faleceu aos 85 anos. Chamado de pastor dos pastores, Eugene Peterson foi professor emérito do Regent College, no Canadá, e como escritor, é autor de mais de trinta títulos, traduzidos em várias partes do mundo. A família de Peterson divulgou um comunicado sobre os últimos dias do pastor, segundo eles, repletos de alegria. “Nos dias anteriores, ficou claro que ele estava navegando no estreito e sagrado espaço entre a terra e o céu”, escreveram. “Nós o ouvimos falando com pessoas que só podemos presumir que estavam o recebendo no paraíso. Pode ter havido até um ou dois momentos nos quais ele voltou às suas raízes pentecostais e falou em línguas também”. A família descreveu também que entre suas palavras finais estavam: ‘Vamos lá’. . #eugenepeterson https://www.instagram.com/p/B37DlJxp_u4/?igshid=1a1lnjresftvz

All These Tears

I have been reading Eugene Peterson’s book, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, and I came across this quote which like a seed in a sidewalk crack germinated and sprouted. not in leaf, but as a poem.

“All these tears are gathered up and absorbed in the tears of Jesus.”

All these tears which trace the sad goodbyes of Friends, who came to a fork, and took instead The other way, and though each step…
