"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ." Ephesians 4:11, 12

Covenant and Eschatology
"The biblical story does not simply illumine our existence: it throws our whole existence into turmoil. It does not merely answer our questions: it reveals the banality of our questions and gives us new questions that set us on a path to profound discovery. It is not supplemental, but subversive. Thus, the goal is not to relate the Bible to our experience (which is really to say, judge the Bible by our experience), but vice versa. We must set out to make our lives relevant to the biblical story, not the biblical story to our lives." Michael Horton

I love this quote. I remember long ago Bruce Judisch teaching this very thing in SS. So often we allow our experiences to justify the Bible rather than making our lives relevant to the Bible.
