What do you expect?

Modern Christianity has all the enthusiasm that the Pharisee’s had when Jesus told them that their man made traditions had made null the Law of God.

Let’s Kill him…..

Many want, what God wants.

But most, have been taught, to expect that what God wants, is to manifest a greater degree of his Love.

And we do expect, that if God reveals something new to us….it will fit inside our existing context and paradigm. When it doesn’t, it exposes our brittleness. ….”and it seemed odd that people calling themselves prophets should denounce the practice…”

Even when many of us have broken out of the old church mold , we will continue to react to scripture, not by the verse and its context, or whether it harmonizes with grand themes from Gods word, but rather by whom we have known to hang around with those verses. Everyone knows that good scripture, will not hang out with people like that.

May God give us grace to be as new wine skins. Or we will make a mess, and burst.
