Gomes, Peter J
Description
The Scriptures are not intended to be a club with which we beat our opponents into submission. When used as such, they can be very dangerous. Rather, as Psalm 119 says, they are a lamp to illumine our path step by step and guide us into a meaningful and purposeful life. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)Sermon start time: (Part 1) 26:26. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 1:00:58.Key quotation: “Oracles give nothing away. You have to work. You have to use your imagination. You have to interpret and ingest and respond to that lively oracle of God.”
