The Stranger Among Us

If Christianity is real and true, then our religion should reflect it. We should go in with a real heart for change, believing in spirits, demons, evil, profound goodness and forgivesness, knowledge that we have bodies but that we are spirits . . . in short, it's all or nothing. If it becomes merely a weekly ritual, full or habits we don't understand or merely tradition with very little meaning, then we have lost. It will have no more importance than the tradition of taking your hat off when you enter a house, or getting off of work for President's Day. May we never get to the point in our worship when a knock to our church door by the Lord is greeted with irritated sighs. "We were having such a nice meeting and service, what's He doing here?"
