A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
God pursues Nazis and whores, but his people often refuse to go with him.
The Pursuing God
Joshua Ryan Butler
It wasn’t until reading Genesis one day that I finally came to a theological understanding of what had been happening in the pottery shop all along. “And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food” (Genesis 2:9). This verse caught my eye because it explains the very metaphor that I had adopted to describe my pottery trips: sight and food. The stomach was made to hunger for food; the eye was made to hunger for beauty. We were made to consume beautiful things. Excellent music, great films, stunning performances—these are all food for the hungry soul.
