:: HUMANITIES COLLIDING ::

POST-MODERNISM IS A CANVAS, NOT A GOSPEL

I don't think we have to defend Post-Modernism, it's only a very useful canvas. I do think, however, that we need to stand for truth. Anywhere that lie and deceit reign, it is healthy to identify them. Not being able to do so put us, and those who rely on us, at risk.

The Gospel is what I contend for, it is about knowing God and be known by Him, and living a life that reflects that relationship. And it is about doing what He does, guided and empowered by His Spirit, and being able to lay down whatever we're doing to follow where He leads.

The whole stack of Paul's Epistles were about church problems raised by improper leadership and discipleship. So it's not something contrived out of thin air when people also need to look at that reality. Granted, often it might start with bitterness, and the expression of it. But it should evolve and become a journey from bitterness to understanding of one's own sins as well, leading to a better understanding of grace, leading to an incarnated application of forgiveness, leading to a collective radiance from reconciliation: humanities colliding.

But whatever we go through this side of redemption, at any given time it is about the one who sees, for God will give light to those who thirst for it, but He will also bring us further into that light, into the raging fire of its core, so we are purified from our fleshly ways.

Yes, He'll redeem any situation if we'll let Him. And as long as we remember it's about change, then we will allow each other room to express outwardly things we still haven't found words for, only impressions. And we'll trust that within that grace mentality, we'll have found a place where we can grow. And those we minister to will also benefit from this dynamic.

Questionning leaderhsip is part of growing up. The problem could very well mutate ito a nastier cluster if what we come up with as far as solutions only reinforce a spirit of "independance." But the same can be said if the only thing we do is fear and keep silent when we witness abuse, when we decide we won't be our brother's keeper. The main tragedy of fallen leaders was isolation and unaccountability.

The ultimate expression of the prophetic is 'love.'
