The word of God is living and active…piercing…discerning intentions of the heart.

The words are alive. This is why we read and note and ponder the words written in the Bible. Not ancient runes, or fables, or tales from old wives; these words eat at you and flay open your true desires.

Entering the Bible feels a lot like playing the game Jumanji. Remember the movie? According to the rules, once you start you cannot stop until the game is finished. The game captures you. In the meantime, rhinoceroses stampede past, crazed hunters stalk you, and you might turn into a monkey.

If you give yourself to the Scriptures, you risk toward change, into what you cannot know.

Roll the dice, play the game, see where the adventure takes you.
