John Smith spoke at Church on Sunday, He's an old man now, battered by life, but he still spoke with passion, positivity and excitement, he was really encouraging and inspiring. He spoke of many things as is his style but two stood out for me:
- The importance for the Church (ie christians) of having a real connection with Jesus, he challenged people about reading and re-reading, being immersed in the Gospels. This is something I've been reading and thinking about recently, and while I can say that I've read the Gospels a number of times in recent years I know I've got a long way to go in really immersing myself in what we know of Jesus life.
- The challenge of breaking down the implicit 'Temple Theology' in our church institutions.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Nigel
