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. As we study Genesis 2, we will learn what that biblical story is to see where it conflicts with the dominant story of our culture.

Rev Stephen Terpstra > Work and wealth promise us all sorts of benefits, even happiness and safety and acceptance, if we will only give our lives to them. But, of course, they cannot satisfy. However, following Jesus means selling all we have so that we can have a true and permanent and satisfying treasure in Him, as our passage today shows.

We are capable people. Many of us are "can do it" kinds of people. Is it possibly that our own ability has become an idol?
