The tough thing about blogging is that in order to do it effectively and maintain a readership, you really need to do it every day (or at least several times a week). So after my 10-day silence I suppose I have lost you all! But the reality is that life has off-weeks and last week was one of them for me. But I'm happy to say that I am back online, and will seriously make an effort to post something, even if it is small, everyday this week, and hopefully keep that momentum going for the rest of the semester. Also, it would be great to include some posts from you guys. If you have an idea, let me know.
To get us back in the swing of things, check out this quote by Jonathan Campbell from his article "Postmodernism: Ripe for a Global Harvest- But is the Church Ready?":
The good news is Jesus transcends all cultures. Jesus is
not modern. Jesus is not postmodern. And his body, the
church, is neither modern nor postmodern, though it
lives within both cultural paradigms. Ultimately, Christ's
community is a way of life that incarnates into and challenges
any and every culture, in every time, in every place. Mission
is an intrinsically translational task. Throughout history,
God has shown himself relating to people within their cultural
frame of reference. The life and work of Jesus Christ set a
pattern for the church's mission. In the incarnation, God
became more than words. The Word himself entered culture in
a specific time and space (John 1:14).
