- "Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written." (John 21:25)
A Slice of Infinity snippets: There were more stories to tell, other encounters to hear about, lives still unfolding at the hands of Christ... Christ is both present and coming, calling us further up and farther in to his kingdom. The thoughts of God are well beyond our own. All of creation declares the glory and power of its creator.
Chad's comments: I remember a conversation I once had regarding the need for greater exploration in the education of our youth. (Shannon -as an educator, perhaps you can comment on this) My point was that there seems to be so much 'openness' to new ideas in higher education and much 'dogmatic' teaching in the entry levels. My thoughts were that this is a bit backwards. In other words, if we were to let our young children explore ideas early, then they can fail early while we are still around to catch them. Perhaps then, when they reach the levels of higher education, there would be less drifting and we would be able to move forward. (as a side note, isn't it interesting that in most college campuses today there is a keen sense that you cannot really learn anything) Personally, I am attempting to return to a child like faith. One where imagination and exploration are enjoyable rather than dogmatically forbidden. It is in this that I hope to find the real Jesus.
Reaching Out Focus: Communicate from the position of minority - because, as Christians, we are in a minority.
May God bless us with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of God's creations
So that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
