Over the past week or so, I've been reading a great little book titled, "Who Gets to Narrate the World?:Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of Rivals" by the late Dr. Robert Webber of Northern Seminary. His last published work (he passed last year) is the shortest book of his that I've ever read, and one of the most thought-provoking. In a brief, but comprehensive, style, Webber takes us through the history of the philosophical, religious, and moral movements that have shaped the world since the Roman world in which the earely Church was established, while also presenting the challenges facing the modern Church by those philosophies and religions that are in opposition to Christianity. All this information is nice and very informative, but there's one question that came to my mind that I belive that each and evry one of us, as individuals, and as the church, needs to honestly answer, and that is:
Who (or what) is narrating our world?
Not the world at large, but the world of our everyday lives. From the groggy, hit-the-snooze three times daze of the early morning, to the stress of preparing for the day, to the challenges of our daily work, to the family time...who is narrating your world?
See You Sunday!
