======================================================================== BIBLE by Norman Grubb ======================================================================== Summary: The Bible teaches us to live an extreme life, trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness, and to preach an extreme message of Christ's all-sufficiency. Topics: "Extreme Faith", "Gods Sovereignty" Scripture References: Psalm 55:22, Matthew 8:8, 1 Corinthians 15:28, Colossians 3:11, 1 Peter 5:7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Norman Grubb preaches about the extreme nature of the Bible, highlighting the concept of God being 'all in all' in the final eternity, where even the Son becomes subject to the Father. He emphasizes living an extreme life and preaching an extreme message based on the radical truths of the Scriptures. Grubb acknowledges the challenges of accepting such extreme ideas, knowing that it may be perceived as unconventional by others, but ultimately surrenders to God's will, trusting Him to handle all aspects of life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And in the final eternity, when even the Son becomes subject to the Father and hands over to the Father "that God may be all in all." I Cor. 15:28. Pretty extreme, isn't it? I like to emphasize this as an extreme Book--it entitles us to live an extreme life and preach an extreme message. Praise His Name! It certainly is extreme. If we wrote that they'd say we were Pantheists or some queer name. But God said it. That doesn't leave me with much bother with myself, does it? If a common little horrible little piece of a thing like this can say, "Christ is All," it doesn't leave me with much bother with myself. I just say, "all right, God, carry on then. If a disease happens to me, it happens to You as well as to me--fix it up then. If a sorrow happens to me, it happens to You as well as to me-- carry it out then. It's your business."
