various ways
I'm finishing my journey through the Epistles. The first verse of Hebrews strikes me. "In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways."
When you really examine the way God communicates in the Old Testament it borders on absurd. Jeremiah hides his belt in Perath. Ezekiel lies on his left side for 390 days. Hosea marries a prostitute.
Wild and wacky stuff, but one thing is for sure. God isn't a broken record. He loves to communicate in "various ways."
One of my driving passions right now is communicating things in ways that people can't forget. How do we help people cross the line of faith so that moment is unforgettable? How do we help people walk out of our gatherings with the big idea seared into their consciousness?
We're actually going to use bracelets for our Wired series. Read Deuteronomy 11. It's all about physical reminders. Can't you envision John the Baptist with an ankle bracelet :)
