Obviously our view/understanding how God works in the world grossly influences us. On Sunday evening Jamie made the proposal that often times we talk about God in terms of a tailor. God with a big needle in the sky occasionally contacts and influences the world. These contacts vary in magnitude, Jesus being the biggest. However, Jamie states that maybe an iceberg would be a better way to understand God's influence. Like a iceberg, God is always present, but we only see what is on the surface.
I found this understanding more powerful. I wonder how understanding that God is ever present(even if hidden a lot of the time) would change the way we live here and now. Do we wait on the big events, such as which the tailor model points towards or do we believe something more all encompassing.
