<p>There is a disease raging in many Christian lives. I call it Selectaversitis. Depending on the doctrine or belief you might have your favorite verses to support it and a pesky list of awkward verses that seem to go against your cherished belief. Not only do we avoid the awkward verses we don't realize the role and power that models play in shaping our understanding of the Bible and even the larger world around us. This is the root cause of Selectaversitis.</p><p></p><p>Using fun examples <strong><em>The Express Image</em></strong> explores how models influence your thinking and how to know if you are using good models especially in understanding God's Word. Then we dive deeper into the most important model for Christians - how you and I understand God and the Incarnation.</p><p> </p><p>You can break free of Selectaversitis and put God's Word in Charge. You can even understand how models have framed and controlled our belief in the Deity of Christ the development and language of the Trinity and our basic understanding of God's nature.</p>
