The Brokenness in God's People

The way to rethink what obedience means in the Bible is that God has, and we have competing visions of what life is about. And there's a whole bunch of things that you're doing that you think is life, but actually there's not life at all. That's what's happening right here. It's competing visions of life. The tragedy is that he's actually running from life. He totally misses out on being a part of it because he won't give up his little vision of the good life. What an ancient and irrelevant story.
