18: The Bible in Living Color

Guest: Lisa McQueen

• The Bible in Living Color
• “God was loving in the Old Testament; He was not a mean tyrant. In Judges especially, I love how He was so merciful. Whenever they cried out, He was always consistent to respond to their cries, every time, in all seven sin cycles.  When they cried out, He answered every time.”
• “From beginning to end, God was saying, ‘I love you, and I want you.’”
• “The Bible is a living document.”
• “I pray and say, ‘Help me with Your living Book that You authored.’”
• “If you know who it’s written to and you know why it was written, then you can read it with a different lens.”
• Bible tools: Logos and Blue Letter Bible
• Hebrews 4:12
• “‘I don’t know what I need today, but You know what I need, so when I am reading this, show me something that You want me to have in this moment.’”
• “Knowing is not doing. I hear it, I’ve heard it, I’ve read it, but now I want to be a constant doer.”
• James 1:22
• Amos 4:6-13
• “The Bible was not written to us but written for us.”
