So, you ever feel like you're in this place that no one else is in??
Well, that's how I feel now... Let me explain.
I was talking to a co-worker about reading new books and how I have a gift certificate for Borders and how I have no idea what to get. This is why:
We are a dilluted version of what it means to follow Christ (the church as a whole is I believe).
We are a society doomed on effieciency. (so as to make things easier- such as knowledge of something).
We are reading so many more things, memorizing so many movies and such, but the Bible is left to it's lonesome.
I understand everyone is trying to help the situation by explaining their own version of what the Bible says and how important that that certain explanation is to know when living a life following Christ, but aren't there too many voices out there? I feel like the more we explain things we limit what is trying to be said. Here's a bad analogy to explain it better:
You have a glass of water. The water is the unclear explanation of the Bible.
Someone tries to explain it and show some of the truth in a tangible way, so he defines the water more by adding, let's say, a drop of cola.
That's fine, but when every one starts adding to the glass, it's going to become a dilluted, explainable, dirty, not valuable thing.
I don't know why I am getting fired up about this, but I feel like GOD WANTS A NEW, INNOVATIVE REVOLUTION OF CHRISTIANITY TO START, and that's gonna happen if we get what we are supposed to get from the Word, as directly as possible, instead of just intensifying all these reused emotions and values and beliefs that have already been established by someone eslse, some one trendy....
well, i got to go now, i want to talk more about this... i'm not sure what i think, honestly, fully about this subject... comment freely- it would be very helpful to me
shalom.
