A short post today. Perhaps these are "baby steps" into me beginning to post more regularly again. I saw this video on someone else's blog, but the level of challenge is profound if you think about it. Watch this and then consider your church:
OK, now you've probably made an assessment about your church, and that's fine. You probably also made an assessment about "Soul City Church" too. Fine again. So now watch it again and do the same for yourself. I'm trying to think about what this means to ME...not my church. It's really easy for me to post this. To say in my head and my heart "YES!" Moving that feeling from my head and heart to my hands and feet is a different matter. I pray this haunts me until I do something about it seven days a week. And that when I do, that the Glory goes to Him and not me.
Rus,
ReplyDeleteWe all need constant reformation individually and corporately. Martin Luther was. Looked upon negatively. Can we consider that ideas of the "church" maybe influenced by culture and instutions more. than the Bible? Of course, Luther was apologized to years later because grace was not being preached on any day. In our day grace is confined to a building and to one day. Can we be free to extend grace every day in every place? Radical Christianity? Luther wouldn't think so. Thanks for the post, Rus
