Hmmm...
Hmm, life.
What can I say, life is moving past.
I love Bridal but I cannot wait to get out of there. I need time to escape and come to terms with what I've learnt. While it is all awesome and I think I have a better understanding of things than I did at the start of the year. However, I have not been able to think through the implications of various things that I have begun to think about. What is the work of Christ crucified? How does it relate to me? How does it relate to the world. If it is faithfulness that saves then what does this mean for missiology. If Christianity has become religious how should I live in relation to the church. If Christianity is about being human then how do I 'be' human. In many ways I don't think I agree with the way that the church is living but I don't know if I can take that last step and embrace what I think the true Christian should look like. I think that the church has lost the plot and no longer does the will of God. That said I also think that the church holds the clearest truth about God of any world religion and unlike other religions God's means of salvation has been revealed to us. Therefore we can live assured of God's salvation rather than hoping in that God will be merciful upon us.
I cannot even begin to enumerate the ways in which I have changed since the start of the year. I feel like leaping into a car and just driving to the ends of the earth.
Anyway all of this means that hopefully this summer I will come to grips with what I believe to be the truth. I will hopefully blog infrequently about it all.
That which was thought to be eros was philia; that which was though to be philia was eros.
