Classical theology has erred in its insistence that theology be 'God-centered,' not 'man-centered'.
A mission is a place where you ask nonbelievers to come and find faith and hope and feel love.
Roman Catholics utter their Papal edicts, Protestants quote their Bible, Fundamentalists declare their orthodox theological dogmas, and we are all expected to renounce private reflection and peacefully acquiesce to these pronouncements. And the result is that the dignity of the person is violated by such oppressive, intelligence-smothering forms of communication.
One classical role of the pulpit in Protestantism has been to 'preach sermons' which imply indoctrination more than education. Within this from of communication, there is an inherent, intrinsic inclination to intimidate, manipulate, and, hence, offend the person's most prized quality of humanness - his dignity.
We are all children starving to experience and know the heart of reality.
I see the invisible. I believe the incredible. I attempt the impossible.
God's forgiving grace is incomplete until he gives me - and I accept - a new kingdom-building dream and opportunity.
Now - find God's dream for your life and go all out for it!
You know how many seeds are in an apple. But you don't know how many apples are in a seed.
Tremendous human energy is needed to walk God's walk, work God's work, fulfill God's will, and complete his dream for our self-esteem.
If only we could love ourselves enough to dare to approach God, what constructive dreams he would give us! What noble possibilities God wants to reveal to us - possibilities that would offer stimulation plus real security in service. But we feel too unworthy. So one layer of negative behavior is laid upon another until we emerge as rebellious sinners. But our rebellion is a reaction, not our nature. By nature we are fearful, not bad.
Faith is the courage to face reality with hope.
Lord, make my life A window for Your light To shine through And a mirror to reflect Your love To all I meet. Amen.
I am not fully forgiven until I allow God to write his new dream for my life on the blackboard of my mind. .. God has a great plan to redeem society. He needs me and wants to use me.
