Does anyone know what the bicyclist hand motions actually mean? I feel like blinkers are commonly understood and fairly self-explanatory; left side, left turn, right side, right turn. But despite my many years of experience on the road, I still don’t know what the left arm, straight out at the shoulder, bent 90 degrees at the elbow and hanging downward means about the bike operator’s intentions. Some of you who are new to church or new to faith and relationship with Christ probably feel the same way a lot of times about stuff you hear at church. Sometimes it feels like a lot of ideas spoken in an unfamiliar language. And that’s ok. It has been my goal these past two weeks to push through the confusion with RARE CLARITY as we examine what it means to follow God. Here is the review, or the preview for some; To live is Christ. So live as Christ. That is my most efficient summary of Philippians 1 and 2. And as simple as that is, many well-meaning people completely misunderstand what that means. Which is why I am thankful for the clarity of scripture. In Philippians chapter 3, Paul warns us against missing the whole point by sharing his testimony of missing the whole point.
