We are all Godbreathed people encountering a Godbreathed text that is living and breathes back into us through the Holy Spirit as we read and study. Proclaiming the truth of the text extends to imaginative thinking about what may be happening with the characters in the story or passage we are preaching.

Anakin was right. The Jedi had become corrupt because they had become fundamentalists when it came to the Force. For the Jedi, the Force had become a thing to control.
For what it is worth, a person who sees loyalty as more important than truth is someone who should not be entrusted with the power to govern a society anchored in deliberative pluralism. But here we are.

"Do our stories describe a God who is all controlling and vengeful, or do we tell stories of a God whose love demands that Nineveh be spared when the prophet wants it destroyed? Does our story of God center on the selfless giving over in solidarity for us on the cross? Our stories matter and I hope that we tell beautiful stories of grace and love luring us into relationship." Brandon Brown The God of Stories BLOG.PARSONBROWN.PAGE
