The story of the people of God never took place according to a model.

The Bible does not concern itself anywhere with pastoral plans and strategies. Instead on almost every page it reveals that God does not act anywhere and everywhere, but in a concrete place. God does act at any and every moment, but at a particular time. God does not act through anyone and everyone, but through people God chooses. Gerhard Lohfink
