DRAWING THE LINES 5 - The Outline
The outline of a field is it's perimeter, it's boundaries. The outline of a course in school is the subject areas and topics to be treated over a period. You should have guessed our outline by now if you didn't know it already: The Bible.
Many people have tried to burn it, to blot out its existence. People have been killed for possessing it. Yet, it refuses to go away. It's that truth all up in your face, and that's why people don't like it, because it gives you boundaries, at least that's what it looks like. It walls us in. It dictates what we're allowed to do and what not to do... And we just hate it. Our flesh hates rules.
But look at David. This weird young man said in Psalm 119: 103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Because he realized, God is not walling me in. He's walling Satan out. This is not a hedge of seclusion, it's a hedge of protection, like my friend Stacy once said.
This outline leads us to the Lifeline, so we're ready for the deadline. My chaw lines now intersect. So you want to know how far God will bless you, enter the Book. How much He loves you, enter the Book. What has He promised you? Enter the Book. Cover to cover just sounded good eh? Enter the Book. In God's kingdom there is no democracy. This is our constitution.
