The word “bridge” does not occur in the Bible — not in any translation I checked, anyway. But the idea of bringing two sides together, for better or worse, is a constant theme in the text. This week we will discuss the bridge God refuses to build in eternal realms, the bridges He has built for us now and how we can best use them, the real-life soap opera that topped the country music charts for years, and the futile quest for the shortest distance between two points.
