Murdered in the Church
Did you read of the horrific burning of a church in Kiambaa
Kenya the day before last? 35 frightened women, children and elderly tribes people were hiding from a blood thirsty mob of rival tribe members. I had intended to continue with the Notes on Hebrews with this first entry of 2008 but the report of this unholy massacre has prompted me to place self aggrandizement aside.
Truthfully speaking, every single one of us that blogs does so selfishly, in order that we might chronicle a life experience we consider supremely important, namely our own. I cannot continue with this self absorbed life style. For the past two years I have been writing a fictional story of the building of the Common Ground. The Common Ground is that spiritual place marked not by doctrines and interpretations but by the faith of little children. I did this in response to a challenge set forth by the British author of metaphysics and former Catholic Nun, Karen Armstrong, who wrote the following in the final paragraph of her elegant and brief book, A Short History of Myth: “If professional religious leaders cannot instruct us in mythical lore, our artists and creative writers can perhaps step in to this priestly role and bring fresh insight to our lost and damaged world.”
If you care enough about the plight of the world and the devastation that Satan, Sin and Death are causing, then I invite you to read my pages. I will upload a few at a time and I welcome anyone’s comments on them. I don’t pretend to know where this is going but I am ready to march, “for we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age.”
