Precedent & Prayer
To those who still visit my blog, though I’ve not written anything substantial in months, thanks for checking up. It’s not so much that I haven’t written because I’ve been busy, but rather I’ve been examining the fruitfulness of all our e-communication. I can’t say I’m too impressed with any of it, and I’m now drawing some connections from Chesterton’s “What’s Wrong With The World.” Though he is speaking to the Feminist’s folly of simply letting the world go it’s own way, it is certainly applicable to communication and all it’s forms.
“Now this is the attitude which I attack. It is the huge heresy of Precedent. It is the view that because we have got into a mess we must grow messier to suit it; that because we have taken a wrong turn some time ago we must go forward and not backwards; that because we have lost our way we must lose our map also; and because we have missed our ideal, we must forget it.”
Make sense?
Anyways, what I really wanted to do was request prayer as I’ll be preaching again in a week and a half. Please pray that I would be faithful with God’s Word, both before God and His people, and that I would humbly have before me James’ words that teachers will be judged with greater strictness. Thank you.
