A question has come to mind. First, let me give you some context. I am part of a team that has a strong desire to build a community of faith of people of our emerging culture. We have developed a simple vision and mission which reflects the simplicity of what Jesus has called us to be and do; Christ is our center, community is our context, engaging culture our calling.
Here's my question. How do we call people to a simple life, when there are so many options?
It seems that our consumer culture has influenced people to believe they are consumers at the core of their being. So just as they pick all their options at Starbucks or with their phone company, they pick and chose all their faith options. I'll be with this group on Sunday, another on Tuesday and even something else Saturday. There really is no commitment to any one community of faith. It seems to be a life of test-driving or dating. I'm trying to determine if this is healthy or kind of sick.

i love spammmers
for some people it might be a good thing and for others its probably not so good. some people need constant change, and others need one commitment that lasts. im someone who would need one constant commitment, but i can think of plenty of people who dont stay in one place for any long period of time. and that works for them. maybe im completely wrong, but in the end, God knows for sure.
