It is easy for us all to get caught up in extras and expectations and leave behind those things that are most important and most foundational in our walk with Christ.<BR/><BR/>This is not only true in our personal spiritual lives, but it is also true in our churches too. As you pointed out in one of your other postings reflecting on culture and your trip last year to Africa, we have to find ways of being relevant. However, I think we sometimes get so lost in "trying to be culturally relevant" that we miss the deeper issues. <BR/><BR/>Its not just a danger of "watering down the message," there is also a danger of missing what the message should actually be--"to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6). <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to keeping up with you, your family and your ministry through your blog.<BR/><BR/>Blessings my friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
