Ruth 1 is a profound illustration of how relationality and human freedom align with God’s creative activity. Ruth’s choice to stay with Naomi, despite loss and uncertainty, exemplifies the dynamic interplay between human agency and divine lure.

“The divine lure does not coerce; it invites, it calls, it draws. It is the insistence of love itself, drawing each moment toward its best possible outcome.” ~ Catherine Keller

“The world’s time is not an empty series of years, centuries, and millennia, but a time full of meaning because it is God’s time for the revelation of His will and work.” ~ Karth Barth via Church Dogmatics v4.3

“God works within the world as it is, luring it toward what it can become. Even in the midst of chaos, God’s call to creativity and transformation persists.” ~ Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki

#introduction

I grew up in a conservative evangelical environment, would consider myself an #exvangelical . Still love Jesus, trying to find a home in a mainline denomination. Like talking theology/sports/politics. Looking to find folks from the bird site and make new online friends. Theology is somewhere between #opentheism #openandrelationaltheology and #processparty #steelers #penguins #progressive
