The forgotten ways

april 25th, 2008

I’m beginning to sense something beyond the horizon – misty but slowly taking form.

It’s a long lost dream – only it’s not a dream.

It’s a long lost story of men like Peter, Paul, John and James, who dared to speak words like truth, sin, judgement, character but who still could and would mention those words in the same breath as they said righteous, salvation, grace, Spirit, justified, sin.

You may not see where I’m getting at, but I feel we’ve lost our bite – the message that is – our basic message.

What is more, I don’t feel like those men. I don’t feel I have the same character that emanates from their writings.

In other words: A long lost era. What will it take to get it back? (in our individual lives, and in our churches)
