Here and Now...

I sit here on the net writing this blog. Music is playing in the background, my daughter reads her wonder pets book, making up the words as she goes. My wife watching her lifetime movie. This moment could have never happened 100 years ago, because there was no internet, no tv, no music as we know it.

From one generation to the next, humanity as we know it goes through a metamorphosis, through transformation. Morphing into a different culture, different interests and molding to the ever growing technological age. What was updated and cutting edge just 20 years ago, is now probably outdated and old news.

But today, Right Here and Right Now, you are living during an era never imagined 100 years ago. What worked then probably doesn't work today. But, one thing that stays the same is that Jesus never changes. The bible will always be timeless and relevant to your life.

As a matter of fact, Jesus is more compelling than ever. More inviting, more true, more mysterious than ever. I invite you on a journey to go deeper into looking at the truth. Test it, probe it, Don't swallow it uncritically. Wrestle with it. I've probably got as many questions as I do answers. Just because I'm trying to articulate a Christian worldview doesn't mean that I've got it nailed.

But what I do know is that God has spoken. The journey then is taking a fresh look, Here and Now, at what it means to live the kind of life He teaches.
