All people "live out of" a story that explains where the world came from, where it's going, and what constitutes the good life. The story we believe directs how we live every day. Christians are called to "live out of" the biblical story -- a story that is in conflict with the dominant story of modern western culture. It is no easy task, but if we are to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God, it is a neces sary task.

What man has done, the little triumphs of his present state … form but the prelude to the things that man has yet to."
