Everything Happens for a Reason
Today, Rev. Ron Bartlow continues our series on “Half Truths” based on Rev. Adam Hamilton’s book Half-Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say. In this series, we’ll reflect on the nature of Scripture and then consider some of the “myths” that people attribute to the Bible. United Methodists “make sense” of the Bible in that “we take it seriously, if not literally.” The sermon today explores the saying “Everything Happens for a Reason.” Our scripture readings are Deuteronomy 30:19-20a and Galatians 5:1, 13-14.
