Feb 1, 2016: God’s Narrative or Mine?

Robert E. Webber

We are also in a struggle for the soul of the church in America, a struggle between God’s narrative, with God at the center, and my narrative, with the self at the center. The narrative of American narcissism tells us that nothing is more important than the self. By contrast, God’s narrative tells us that we will only become what we are meant to be when we submit ourselves to his story.
