AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:13 ¶ "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery]. |
Subject: Will the Church have something to say? |
Bible Note: "If the Church can begin to find a place for theology by refocusing itself on the centrality of God, if it can rest upon His sufficiency, if it can recover its moral fiber, then it will have something to say to a world now drowning in modernity. And there lies a great irony. "Those who are most relevant to the modern world are those most irrelevant to the moral purpose of God, but those who are irrelevant in the world by virtue of their relevance to God actually have the most to say to the world. They are, in fact, the only ones who have anything to say to it. "That is what Jesus declared, what the Church in its best moments has known, and what we, by the grace of God, can yet again discover." --David Wells |
