The movement

You can't deny that there is a movement underway.

It seems like every generation of Christians tries to do the best with what they know.  I'll go ahead and use some obnoxiously broad generalizations.  The generations before our's pioneered the way for the modern Western idea of evangelism (Roman Road, pray a prayer, walk an isle, etc.).  Many lives have been and still are being changed through these means.  It seems such an appropriate gift to come out of a generation that excelled in making things certain and defined.  I am thankful.

And now there is another movement arising.  This new movement is not counter to the old, but complementary.  This movement does not see as much in black and white, but mixtures of gray with dabs of color, things are not static as they once were, but dynamic and in flux, and relationships determine involvement, because we are starving for real and vulnerable community.  Christ is being made known in mysterious new ways.  We have been taught the belief aspect of faith from our predecessors and now let us swing back to the balance of faith and action, belief and justice, personal piety and a lifestyle of righteousness.

The stories found in this blog came about because of this new movement.  I simply was tired of sitting in Sunday School.  I am proud to be a part of this generational movement, knowing full well that I will need those who come next to swing back the misbalance that I create.  

And remember, we are simply trying to do the best with what we know.
