In this world, it is sought to keep an advantage secret lest someone else steal it, thus siphoning off our leverage for life. In Christ, the more advantage we give away to others, the greater our own prosperity and joy.

The Bible means what it says, and it means what it means. Viewing the surface, one will be mystified by the curiosities of it. The Bible is written to mystify the skeptic on the left hand and to disclose the mind of God to the open-hearted sinner on the right hand. The prophet is a fool to the man on the left, but to the sinner on the right, his voice is thunder and his stature as of an angel of God. To him on the left, the words are rubbish; to him on the right, each is a precious jewel to be stored away and to be brought out again and again to consider, ponder, and to amaze. For behind each word there are stories and infinite depth of thought and promises and covenants and alliances and support...where shall we stop, where could we stop. Here is truth! Here is simplicity! Here is liberty to be what one ought to be!
