In a world that constantly struggles over Biblical interpretations, a case is made by many for one or the other.
Instead of a binary interpretation of the Text though, is it possible we can have a little bit of both? A staunch obedience to God’s Word, as well as the wisdom to read it in a modern-day context?

CloseNearly a third of Jesus' teachings consisted of stories, or parables. These seemingly innocent tales were not just given for entertainment though -- they were designed to penetrate the heart in a way a series of commands couldn't. They forced the listener to meditate on the teachings and make the change from the inside out. As such, they were exceedingly effective. Can we use parables today? Of course! Maybe not in the same way as Jesus, but using illustrations can still be effective if handled properly.
