Yeah, the "externality of the organization" says "All are Welcome",
but ... the interiority says "as long as you do it our way"
Yeah. we believe in justice
but ... "if you believe in justice and not in mercy, you'd better not make any mistakes!"
Yeah, you are called to follow Jesus as he says "I make a NEW thing"
but ... "we've never done it that way before"!
Yeah, we're NOT YET living out our faith without ACTS and PRAXIS
but, we are ALREADY justified by faith and can not earn "our way in" by works!
This is a blog of devotions, testimonials, old sermons, and ruminations on the Word in the New Testament as seen through the lenses of themes from this first Diakonia course in The New Testament. This is a miscellaneous mix of "Yeah, but", "the tensions of opposites", "not yet, but already", and "principalities and powers" - a stream of consciousness journal of The New Testament Word with contemporary writings, movies, art, poetry,oral stories, and what ever else I happen to be reading or listening to on NPR.
