so I was like…you know

So my father came to know the Lord through the Jesus Movement in the 60’s, and I always admired him because he was involved in such a pivotal aspect of the United State’s history. However, I have become disillusioned lately. Not by the passion of the church/people. Not by their commitment. But rather this lone “Revolutionary” attitude. This notion that the generations proceeding their’s has no clue as to what the church should really look or act like.

 Our concerns about the environment? They laugh at us and tell us we’re naive. Our concerns for the war in Iraq? “Well, it’s no Vietnam!”

I recently read that the post modern church is nothing more than another department of social services. (As if social services are something negative.) Where the followers are more concerned for social justice and less concerned with God’s purpose. When I looked to see where the author was siting his sources, I discovered that he so objectively pulled his plethora of resources from a single book (I won’t mention or advertise it!).

The church has been changing for a very long time. The look. The feel. As long as we hold onto Christ’s Word and love as Christ loves us, then we are blessed.

Well, I better get back to work now. I just needed to get that off my chest.
