FOURTHSTREAM SEMINARY #2
We are called out of darkness and into the Light when Jesus reveals Himself to us.
1. Experience the Level Story: We read – We reread – we tell – and search the scriptures to add to our knowledge base (encounter the reference)
2. We encounter the Animated Story: It is spiritually unfolding and unlimited – “What did each woven thread/each life and God encounter mean to the characters/other recipients? (expose the meaning) Language and context are huge help in this!!!
3. We embrace our Personal Story Experience: Transference of spirituality and faith without limits (enlighten your heart)
Always the question: What does this story/thread have to do with me?
What are the “pass-on” life-producing ingredients from this story/account?
√ Empirical Data conversation (pragmatic/firsthand via observation and experiment)
√ Personal connection to the data
√ Effective second-hand transfer to others
Transforming!
Dave and Burnadette
“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2
