Alive

Posted in Uncategorized on 05.04.10 by Merlyn

The Gospel message may be over 2000 years old, but its not old, nor is it dead. So, why do we in our churches look and act like the walking dead? Why do we proclaim the joy of Christ in our worship as we sit expressionless? How is it that we know Christ, but our faces do not seem to have been notified of the power and the joy that comes with knowing the God of the universe? Are we alive or are we dead? Is God dead? If God is not dead, and if the Gospel still applies; then we must live as if it is really true–as if God has saved us. The Gospel is not about a set of truths or a series of beliefs. Its not just about a message of salvation. Instead, it is a living and active reality that can transform us. God, the Gospel, and the Church are not dead so lets stop acting like our faith is anything less than a fully alive reality to be proclaimed and lived.
