God's Creative Acts
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
The Greek word for workmanship is:
transliterated as POIEMA
It is the root from which we get our English word "POEM."
"For we are God's POEMS."
How does that strike you?

Poems are stories....about an object, a place, a time, a person.
We don't love a story because it describes why we should believe it; we love a story because we experience believing in it.
The Jewish writer and human rights campaigner Elie Wiesel once said, "God created man because he loved stories."
By reading the poems, songs, and stories of our lives we will know our Author. So will all those within "ear-shot".
Jess, I LOVE what you said, "We don't love a story because it describes why we should believe it; we love a story because we experience believing in it."
Here's a quote from Pastor Rob Bell, Author of Velvet Elvis : Repainting the Christian Faith
"Have you ever seen someone pull a photo out of their wallet and argue about the supremacy of this particular loved one? Of course not. They show you the picture and give you the opportunity to see what they see."
WE are poems and so should our EVANGELISM/TALK ABOUT GOD also be a POEM!
