Man has forever confused theology with methodology. How we do church has done as much to take away from being divinely authentic as any premise. What the scriptures teach remains ultra-important. Their silence, however, still bugs the control obsessant.
How oxymoronish of us to try to be so correct in all matters; yet, we sometimes think nothing of operating from fear which is one of God's most major warnings.
A challenge for me is being 66 and liking what I like and disdaining what I choose to disdain. So especially now I must be willing to perpetually yield to the newness of God. The Holy Spirit, however, offers such a life of strong flexibility (Jn. 3:8), that we must speak and listen, study and learn from the Divine Funnel which lives to invigorate His offspring.
We are to be swept away by the creativity of God. Never is He old hat. Neither is He rote...nor mundane. Always is He the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Ours is the job to walk through life very, extremely, highly....awake!
Keeping up with the creativity of God is an eternal effort. That's why that even heaven will never be boring. It will be a fountain springing forth awe and wonder, charm and energy, spectacularism and full life.
Keeping up with God is a full-life job.
