Abandonment and decline

Once the narratives of Scripture are abandoned, and the ways of the Covenant Community departed from, there is only death and decline. But where the testimony of Scripture is held to and the way of  Christ pursued, there is life through the path of death to self and resurrection power in the Holy Spirit.

Sunday last was Pentecost. The power of holiness, consecration and revelation of the power of the Age to Come is here now, for those who would receive it and walk with it. But it does not belong to those who accomodate themselves to the decline, decadence and dissolution that sadly marks our society today.

There is a time to rejoice. And there is a time to mourn and sing the song of lament. Today.
