Tough Break...

I broke my wrist, I can't type worth a shit...will be posting more of other stuff than typing myself. Last day of classes tomorrow. It is time to be done. A quote from a book I am trying to read, Simply Christian by N.T. Wright. I stole this from another person reading the book, but gets at some of my frustrations with church lately.

"It [Scripture] is there to equip God's people to carry forward his purposes of new covenant and new creation. It is there to enable people to work for justice, to sustain their spirituality as they do so, to create and enhance relationships at every level, and to produce that new creation which will have about it something of the beauty of God himself. The Bible isn't like an accurate description of how a car is made. It's more like the mechanic who helps you fix it, the garage attendant who refuels it, and the guide who tells you how to get where you're going. And where you're going is to make God's new creation happen in this world, not simply find your own way unscathed through the old creation." (N.T. Wright, Simply Christian)
