Haven Today: Engaging The Shack

Our Goal ... not to endorse, not to bash, but to engage.

Thoughts from Haven listeners:
Only in the last year have I begun to realize that God is not solitary. There is the joy, there is the intimacy, and there is the servanthood of the Trinity. Only in the past year have I begun to see afresh John 17 and the prayer of my savior, Jesus, that just as Father, Son, and Spirit have fellowship, I am invited into that relationship. Who would have thought? A fallen sinner, saved alone by grace, could enter into such kinship. Paul's novel has troublesome points - theologically blurring the distinctive roles of Three-in-One and One-in-Three and the unclearness of which road and how many roads lead to God. But systematics aside, the Lord used Paul's issues - abuse, affair, financial failure and who knows what else - to lead him out of his shack and into relationship with the creator God who saves and keeps. May we all find this relationship, the only way for deliverance from the shack of our lives.
