Quote of the Day

We are not in John’s storytelling company long before we realize that he is not nearly as interested in telling us anything new about Jesus (although he also does plenty of that along the way) as he is in drawing us into an increasingly intimate relationship with Jesus. “Believe” and “love” are the characteristic verbs; neither can be accomplished in a hurry. Eugene H. Peterson, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places (William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005), p. 91

(I really do try not to point out every typo, but the man did used to be my pastor, so I can't let that one slide!)
