The Bible | Bounded vs. Bullseye

These days, perhaps more than at any other time in history, sincere-hearted Jesus-followers are increasingly engaging in the practice of deconstructing and renovating their faith. And for those on this journey of re-evaluating previously held beliefs and convictions, all roads appear to inevitably lead to one foundational question: What do you do with The Bible?

Do its many leather-bound words of warnings serve as an immovable boundary, meant to keep us on the inside of a life that God blesses?
