After translating The Message Bible,
Eugene Peterson was asked how it had changed him.
He replied that the Bible isn't hard to understand.
He challenged us to disband our Bible study groups.
Instead, we need more BOG's-Bible Obedience Groups.
It is the living out of this obedience that leads us to ministry.
We are all called to ministry.

of people associated with North Seattle Friends Church.
