We Read to Know that We are not alone!

"We read to know that we are not alone" is a line from the movie "Shadowlands." It is a movie about C.S. Lewis' later life. I highly recommend watching this film. Anyway the quote is attributed to Lewis. Whether or not He actually said it I do not know, but I like the quote.

You see God has been challenging me to rethink what I thought church, ministry, and being a pastor is. I have been training my whole life through college, seminary and serving as a pastor in what most would consider to be a fairly normal "church." But God through His Word has been renewing my mind to His truth, the only infallible truth. What I was doing wasn't ministry, it wasn't being a pastor, and it wasn't the body of Christ, the church.

It is easy to feel alone in that thinking, but what I am finding out is that God is speaking to a great many people and moving people to be His body and not just attend a "church" building with its programs. It is about being and making disciples not just workers in programs. It is about becoming like Jesus and not just a good worker in a process that leads down the wide path.

Like many I know that the current system is wrong and sinful since it goes against what God has said in His Word. Also like many people I am struggling to flesh the Scriptures out in my life. All I know is that I want to follow Jesus. I probably won't do it perfectly but there is no better way than the way of Jesus.

Seeking His supremacy in my life.
