Some ponderings
Okay… I know I owe a post on Article 2 of the Confession of Faith… life has been strange lately.
In any case, something my wife mentioned today made me wonder some stuff. Here are some questions that I think the Christian church in the USA needs to seriously ask themselves. Likewise, these are fair questions for any Christian in any society today. Please note, these are not political questions, these are ecclesiology and missiology questions. They apply no matter what the politics, governmental structure, economic philosophy, or what not that you are currently living under.
- If your government were to fail utterly today and a tyranny that is unfriendly to the mission of the church arise in its place, what would you, as a Christian, do differently?
- If there is something you would do differently, why aren’t you doing it now?
- What is preventing you from making those changes in your life?
I personally need to think very hard and very carefully about these. The answers may be a lot harder to deal with that appear on the surface.
If you are challenged by these questions, please comment here or on the corresponding FaceBook link. Let’s start this discussion now, before it becomes necessary.
