About Life Conference 2024:
Word of Life Ministry is celebrating 28 years!
This weekend is a celebration and collaboration of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, covenant relationships and the synergy & purpose of the universal body of Christ.
At the heart of this weekend is the idea that belief in Christ has been watered down by centuries of varnishes, lacquers, grime, and the weight of culture, political agenda, distorted doctrine, and the corrosive power of empire. From fundamentalism to literalism, from nationalism to consumerism, these varnishes have layered on top of the beautiful picture of Christ.
As we cleanse ourselves of these contaminants and restore the beauty of Christ, let us not use cynical and violent ways or ideas. To do so is to destroy the precious treasure. If all we want is to tear down and destroy Christian belief, we can strike with a sledgehammer; but if we want to restore it, we must have patience and the wisdom of gentleness!
When we are rethinking Practicing a Better Christianity, we must always remember that we are dealing with something very precious: our faith in Jesus Christ. It is precisely because our faith in Jesus is so valuable that we are willing to undertake the difficult task of renewing it. But we must not use cheap cynicism or crude mockery in this difficult task. We must do it with patience, humility, gentleness, and a deep respect for the great Tradition that has sustained our faith and practice for 2,000 years.
We do not need to deconstruct our Christian faith! We need to renew it! We do it with prayer, we do it patiently, we do it with respect. Let us not go down the path of deconstruction because it is a path to "hell" or destruction!
Let's not deconstruct, let's pray, let's sit with Jesus, let's focus on Jesus, let's wipe away that false varnish, and let's cry tears of gratitude! This is the salvation of our faith!
