The Adventure of Being Human (Lyle Mook)

Last week, Pastor Cheryl looked at the very beginnings of the story of scripture to try to begin to see how the whole story points us to Jesus. Today, Lyle Mook draws our focus into the tension between the identity we have as bearers of God's image (imago Dei) and the brokenness we come to realize in ourselves when we allow our "disordered loves" (a reference to Augustine's writings) to shape us. And so, the question is: how do we reconcile the two within ourselves? Or, perhaps more appropriately, how do we allow God to do the work of reconciliation within us?
