The Ordinary Means of Growth
We are living in a confused and confusing time for confessional Christians (Christians who are anchored by a public and corporate theological commitment to be faithful to the Bible's teaching on faith and practice as expounded by the great confessions of the Protestant Reformation). We are witnessing the final demise of theological liberalism, the rise of Pentecostalism, the beginnings of the so-called emerging church movement, the breakdown of evangelicalism, and an utter discombobulation about how the church is to conduct its life and ministry in an increasing "post-Christian" culture. All around us, in the name of reaching the culture with the Gospel, we see evangelical churches compromising (usually without intending to) in both message and methods. The Back Story
There are some plays in the world of theater that involve an omniscient narrator. The role of the narrator can be varied, such as interpreting events within the play, disclosing a character’s motives or thoughts, and so on. Sometimes the narrator is required to set the stage by telling us the back story, that is, the events that have transpired leading up to the next scene. As we hear God’s story unfold in the pages of Scripture, we quickly realize that there is a back story. In Genesis 1, God creates all things good. In Genesis 2, God creates man very good and in His image. However, in Genesis 3, we are abruptly introduced to something and someone very bad. Who is this serpent and where does he fit in this story? Why is he opposed to the one true God? Why is he seeking to tempt Adam and Eve to rebel and sin against God? |
