BOB PEDEN
Eugene Peterson has created one of the most loved and read trans-culturation of the Bible. His paraphrase of the latter part of the third chapter of the gospel of John speaks clearly to me. It reads, “This is the crisis we're in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness. They went for the darkness, because they were not really interested in pleasing God.
Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won't come near it, fearing a painful exposure. But anyone working and living in truth and reality welcomes God-light so the work can be seen for the God-work it is.”
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church, are you seeking the God-light so that your God-works may be revealed, or are you afraid of the light that might expose what you are really up to. Live, daily, the kind of life that you would want everyone to see.
