Every child loves a good story - be it factual or mythical.
However, they cannot tolerate the sort of story that is just a bland narrative, they demand a living account with fascinating characters and an exciting plot. But for some reason, when these same children grow into adults they develop a disdain for stories as irrelevant. Their whole view of the world is transformed into a pragmatic mold that leaves no room for the centrality of plot or purpose. Unfortunately, our evangelical notion of the world and its redemption has been tainted as well. Because we have allowed the world to set the standards, we are left with a two-dimensional society.
