The traditions of our fathers.
Posted by appolus on October 12, 2024
I’m satisfied that 1 Cor 12-14 simply can’t exist inside the traditions of our fathers. One of many causes the hippies, the “Jesus freaks,” of the late 60s and early 70s had been so refreshing is that the Lord took their rise up in opposition to organized faith and used it in a quite simple however extremely efficient method.
It was like taking a fancy association of a track and breaking it down into one man and a guitar the place the phrases and the straightforward melody might shine via. After which, tragically, that technology turned what that they had initially rejected. Largely, I consider, as a result of males wished positions and titles identical to” their fathers,” earlier than them. The simplicity of the unique motion obtained swallowed entire by the spiritual system it sought to switch.
The Church, I consider, is named to be a counter tradition, referred to as out and set aside, to be a beacon within the darkness. But, we all the time appear to underestimate the massive energy of the spiritual mindset. And right here we’re once more, the non denominational system virtually fully consumed by “rot and rut and routine,” as Tozer would put it.
