Our lives do not end with “ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”
The Judeo-Christian Bible begins perfectly in the Garden of Eden as described by Moses, and it ends perfectly in a garden setting within the city of New Jerusalem as described by the Apostle John. In contrast to these perfect garden bookends, the chapters in between describe a world that is far from perfect. What happened? And even if we can figure out what happened, what do we do about it?
This survey considers eight (8) biblical ground rules that help make sense of our twenty-first century circumstances and shepherd us to living the abundant lives that Jesus died to give us. It considers:
- countercultural evidence that demonstrates that Triune God inspired the Bible’s message
- the belief we are made in God’s image and are the only species that does not live by survival of the fittest
- the unseen is greater than the seen, and spiritual warfare makes its impact through paranormal activity
- there are only two world views-the biblical one and the other one
How do we overcome “ashes to ashes, dust to dust?” How do we make sense of the chaotic, imperfect world in which we live? How do we get from the perfection of the Garden of Moses to the perfection of the Garden of John? We do it by way of the perfection of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is what the Bible is about.
