The Other Debate...


There was a great debate last night. This one was not televised nor will the media talk about a winner. There were no policy discussions or talk of taxes and deficits. But in a small city in a small church, a small gathering of pilgrims talked about the tough questions of the Christian faith. Is the message real? Is the Bible anymore or less important than other great works of literature? If I cross over from “Egypt” to the “Promise land” what awaits?
These are tough questions. I have significant experience in the field and I would admit to you I rarely feel like any answers I could give could conclusively win the day. Ill tell you what I can do, I can love young people more than advertisers. I can be more convinced the Gospel leads to true life than Apple can be convinced small devices leads there. I can tell them that Jesus love for who they are is greater than Cosmos commitment is to there need to wear a size 1.
There is a battle that takes place for every human heart. Young, old, rich and poor. Although conversations last night can feel a little like World War ones Battle of Verdun, were much was sacrificed and little gained, the good news is that our King reigns victorious over all creation. He is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing. HE has my full devotion and this morning I kneel in prayer to get my orders, to better serve my king.
Grace and Peace
Andrew
