Knowing the Bible can clear up a lot of the confusion and the clutter of life. I read the comic strip Peanuts sometimes. Lucy was frightened one day. It had rained and rained and rained and she was afraid that there was going to be another flood like in Noah’s day. Charlie Brown calmed her fears by telling her that God had promised in the Book that there would never be a flood. And she responded to him by saying, “You have taken a load off my mind.” And he said to her, “Good theology has a way of taking our mind off the pressures of our time.” Good theology has a way of doing that.
