Reflection for the Week- January 12th 2009
The consumer church has adopted a new trinity of culture, experience, and feeling as its primary authority. This is a cadence we don't want to follow. Tangled webs of interconnection with these three run so deep that Christians find themselves trapped in and saturated by that with is not of God. Sapped of resistance to the banal and overwrought by appearances, Divine meaning begins to dissipate, and Christian truth and faith become irrelevant to the church and the watching world. It’s time for this to change and take a new direction. A return to Scripture and the art of reading it will open up possibilities for breaking away from the former empty indulgences and beginning anew.
