Just a quick note in response to an "anonymous" visitor. They took issue with me using a quote from Gergen. I am well aware of who he is and while I do not endorse him I did appreciate the quote. He has been quoted by several that are espousing "new church" philosophy. I used the quote in response to those that are walking away from relationships with friends, family and sadly even away from commitments that have long been apart of relationships with God.
Thanks for dropping by the blog, I hope that it makes you think.
Carnival Christianity did give me something to chew on. In fact, after reading it three times I figured out what it was, "dear". Your first statement mentions people walking away from something that was dear to them. As fleshly people we are so quick to give value to new and exciting "stuff" in our lives. As time passes the new stuff becomes old and common. It is vital to my salvation that I (not my Pastor) remind myself DAILY why this precious truth is so dear to me!
