Ive been thinking more on the Power of God and the Jesus Story.
Is it powerful enough to have an impact on us. Of course it is! There is no end to the displays of Gods Power and Love for us and so surely this is strong enough to solely impact someone…
Why then do we have to relate God to our lives to the 21st Century? I think part of it is because we don’t know how to deal with the immensity and reality of God being God. In a way I sometimes tend to think oh we need anything we can get to assist this message make it relevant. We can’t comprehend that Gods Power is enough and so we end up manipulating it, and molding to find ways that it will connect with a person ways that it becomes relevant. In doing this are we watering down the message? Maybe we are making it more effective? Or are we creating a worldly Christian subculture that feeds nothing more than ourselves so we can deal with our own doubts about the message?
