THE AFTERWORD | Abraham - Week 4
After returning from a Boyz II Men concert, Dave gets all nostalgic for 90s music, and reflects on a line from the first Christian song he ever heard - a song from the 90s. In that song, the lead singer of the group Arrested Development sings a prayer to God, saying, “I know you’re supposed to be my steering wheel, and not just my spare tire.” That idea is also the core theme of the story of Abraham this week, who cedes the “steering wheel” of his life over to God, letting Him drive. Steve stops by to talk about the “four motives” which typically drive the car of our lives (acceptance, power, control and comfort) and how each person usually has one that’s dominant that we have to submit to God so that He can drive. And then, in Bible Nerd Out Time, Sarah K. Lee stops by to talk about the word “faith” and explains some Biblical Greek scholarship that can help us understand this very mushy word better in a way that “drives” us forward.
