FIELD NOTES
It all comes down to Jesus.
But what does that mean?
Adam Hamilton speaks in his modern classic, Making Sense of the Bible, that when we encounter things that seem contrary to the teachings of Jesus, those things should fall away. Jesus is like a colander, and we run everything in our life through the colander of Christ. Whatever stays is good, and what passes through is not needed, or even harmful.
May we look at the words of Christ in such a way that we are able to filter the truth from the chaff. Amen.

PRAYER GUIDE
Lord, help us live the life you’ve called us to live. Help us filter out the bad, and hold to what is true and noble and good. Help us hold on to you. Amen.
