The fish is always the last one to discover the existence of water.
These days, that saying often applies to the church. Our congregations are so immersed in American culture that we drift along holding the same life assumptions as our unbelieving neighbors…usually. After all, there are certain things that everyone knows are true….or are they? Thankfully, there are always voices in the Body of Christ who are willing to challenge conventional wisdom. Whatever we make of their conclusions, I should thank God for blessing us by the questions they raise. Consider the following “truths”:
1. A young christian couple in love should guard their purity and wait to marry until their education is complete and they’ve lived independently for several years. Only then will they be mature enough to make sure an important life decision. Everybody knows that….but does God agree?
2. Megachurches are what’s wrong with the church in America. People in smaller churches are much more dedicated to their walk with Christ and much more faithful to His Truth….aren’t they?
Hi –
I’d like to invite you to visit and give your insights concerning Bob Schlenker’s site http://www.theopenscroll.com/olympicCeremonySymbolism.htm –
Feel free to email me.
I’ve invited Bob to come on my BlogTalkRadio program on Thursday to discuss his views and, more importantly, what Christians should be doing about it. I think the true nature of “spiritual warfare” may be obscure to many of us, and in these days it certainly behooves us to wake up.
Best,
Steve
