L\u00e0 o\u00f9 j'\u00e9tais autrefois inspir\u00e9 par un mod\u00e8le pieux, maintenant - de nombreuses ann\u00e9es et coups plus tard - tout ce que je pouvais voir, c'\u00e9tait \"un homme de sang\". Peut-\u00eatre avais-je mal lu l'incitation de l'esprit ? Peut-\u00eatre, comme l'a sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 un bon ami anabaptiste, devrais-je passer moins de temps \u00e0 \u00e9tudier la th\u00e9ologie probl\u00e9matique des personnages de l'Ancien Testament. Ou peut-\u00eatre, dans le langage de ma vie professionnelle, j'avais un probl\u00e8me de collecte de donn\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2042<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quelques contextes\u00a0: au cours de la derni\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie, une grande partie de ma vie professionnelle a impliqu\u00e9 la collecte de preuves empiriques sur la fa\u00e7on dont les gens donnent un sens \u00e0 leur monde et s'y conduisent. Jusqu'\u00e0 r\u00e9cemment, une partie importante de ce travail impliquait l'utilisation d'enqu\u00eates et d'entretiens pour \u00e9tudier les v\u00e9ritables attitudes et comportements du public du th\u00e9\u00e2tre. En utilisant ces donn\u00e9es comme guide, je demanderais, par exemple\u00a0: le message des performances change-t-il r\u00e9ellement la perspective d'un spectateur\u00a0? Quand ils disent qu'ils aiment un spectacle, sont-ils juste polis ? Payeraient-ils le m\u00eame montant pour une production similaire \u00e0 l'avenir\u00a0? Depuis que j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 embauch\u00e9 en tant que directeur associ\u00e9 de l'Institut canadien de recherche empirique sur l'\u00e9glise empirique de Wycliffe, je me suis \u00e9galement concentr\u00e9 sur la fa\u00e7on dont les congr\u00e9gations et les d\u00e9nominations d\u00e9montrent leurs valeurs r\u00e9elles. Je pose des questions comme\u00a0: comment d\u00e9pensent-ils leur argent\u00a0? Qui embauchent-ils ? Quelles \u00e9glises ouvrent et ferment \u2013 et pourquoi ? Tout cela pour dire que je pense que valoriser \"le r\u00e9el\" signifie s'engager \u00e0 recueillir de bonnes donn\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2042<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I felt I was bringing that same evidence-based data focus to my rereading of the story of David. After weeks of chronicling a string of violent responses, from his youth to the height of his reign, I couldn\u2019t help but feel a kind of kinship with Shimei, the bitter servant of the former king. When David was desperately fleeing his equally murderous son, Absolom, Shimei picked this moment to pelt the deposed monarch with stones and curse him for being \u201ca man of bloodshed.\u201d Judgement nearly rendered, I had my own moralistic stone raised but then David did something that challenged my conclusions. I remembered he had prevented his soldier from executing Shimei, but I had forgotten what he said to him: \u201cLeave [Shimei] alone and let him curse,\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord\u00a0has told him. Perhaps the\u00a0Lord\u00a0will look on my\u00a0misery and return good to me instead of his cursing this day\u201d (II\u00a0Samuel 16:11\u201312). Instead of focusing on lashing out at Shimei or revenging his son\u2019s\u00a0<em>coup d\u2019\u00e9tat\u00a0<\/em>his first thought was about God whom he saw as his righteous accuser and potential savior. In that moment, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the importance of first thoughts and how much (according to my own research) they reveal a person\u2019s real values and priorities. I found my mind spinning backward and revisiting all those happy moments \u2013 like David\u2019s entrance with the ark \u2013 and devasting ones \u2013 like the imminent death of Bathsheba\u2019s son \u2013 where his thoughts and meditations were likewise first and foremost \u201cafter\u201d the Lord.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Je me sentais d\u00e9fait. Les preuves que j'avais recueillies sur la vie de David \u00e9taient correctes - il \u00e9tait, apr\u00e8s tout, un \"homme de sang\" - mais incomplet. D'une mani\u00e8re ou d'une autre, mes propres griefs et cicatrices semblables \u00e0 Shimei m'avaient emp\u00each\u00e9 de voir toutes les donn\u00e9es et, surtout, de mani\u00e8re critique, la meilleure nature de David. Ce fut une r\u00e9v\u00e9lation particuli\u00e8rement inconfortable parce que j'aurais d\u00fb savoir \u2013 et voir \u2013 mieux. J'avais appris de mon temps avec le public et les fid\u00e8les que nos perspectives int\u00e9rieures, ou \u00abcadres\u00bb, fa\u00e7onnent non seulement nos r\u00e9actions, mais limitent litt\u00e9ralement ce que nous pouvons voir autour de nous. Comme l'explique J\u00e9sus dans le Sermon sur la montagne, \"Si la lumi\u00e8re qui est en [nous] est les t\u00e9n\u00e8bres, quelle est la grande obscurit\u00e9!\" (Mathieu 6:23). L'esprit m'a maintenant d\u00e9plac\u00e9 de David \u00e0 moi-m\u00eame, et j'ai soudainement r\u00e9alis\u00e9 qu'une saison de rencontres particuli\u00e8rement difficiles avec les chefs d'\u00e9glise avait att\u00e9nu\u00e9 ma propre lumi\u00e8re. Je pouvais voir le sang, mais pas le c\u0153ur.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good data matters, both for both our personal lives and for the life of the Church, but we also need eyes that will see and ears that will hear\u00a0<em>all<\/em>\u00a0of the data \u2013 and consequently the conclusions that the Spirit of God wants to reveal (Matthew 11:15; Revelation 3:6).
