Dust – 008 by Rob Bell

Dust 008I attended a ‘postmodern’ (they described as postmodern, when I asked what that meant, not one person knew) church service that played a video (called a NOOMA). It asked the question: Believing in God is important, but what about God believing in us?

Dust – 008Believing in God is important, but what about God believing in us? Believing that we can actually be the kind of people we were meant to be. People of love, compassion, peace, forgiveness, and hope. People who try to do the right thing all of the time. It’s easy for us to sometimes get down on ourselves. To feel “not good enough” or feel like we don’t have what it takes. But maybe if we had more insight into the culture that Jesus grew up in and some of the radical things He did, we’d understand the faith that God has in all of us.

Does “God believe that we can actually be the kind of person we were meant to be”?
