00262 – Seeing “the Big Picture”
Willimon, William J.

I think that’s one reason why you are here this morning. You are looking for answers to life’s big questions, searching for reasons why, groping for some discernible pattern in the confusion.

We’ve been bombarded with information, facts, and figures. We don’t need any more information. We need to see the larger picture, some more reliable pattern.

We need a teacher with authority larger than our own.

from 1997 worship service, Duke University Chapel
