Modern Man Has Both Feet Firmly Planted

Jesus Taught That The Mark Of The Christian Is The Observable Love Shown Among All True Believers.

...that Is Our Calling: To Show That There Is A Reality In Personal Relationship, And Not Just Words About It.

The Reality Of Living By Faith As Though We Were Already Dead, Of Living By Faith In Open Communion With God, And Then Stepping Back Into The External World As Though We Are Already Raised From The Dead, This Is Not Once For All, It Is A Matter Of Moment-by-moment Faith, And Living Moment By Moment. This Morning's Faith Will Never Do For This Noon. The Faith Of This Noon Will Never Do For Suppertime . The Faith Of Suppertime Will Never Do For The Next Morning. Thank God For The Reality For Which We Were Created, A Moment-by-moment Communication With God Himself.

Sadly Enough, There Is A Kind Of An Anti-intellectualism Among Many Christians: Spirituality Is Falsely Pitted Against Intellectual Comprehension As Though They Stood In A Dichotomy. Such Anti-intellectualism Cuts Away At The Very Heart Of The Christian Message. Of Course, There Is A False Intellectualism Which Does Destroy The Work Of The Holy Spirit. But It Does Not Arise When Men Wrestle Honestly With Honest Questions And Then See That The Bible Has The Answers. This Does Not Oppose True Spirituality.

Ours Is A Post-christian World In Which Christianity, Not Only In The Number Of Christians But In Cultural Emphasis And Cultural Result, Is No Longer The Consensus Or Ethos Of Our Society.
