One of my beliefs is that Christianity is a living faith. Jesus is alive and speaks to us, leads everyone. He speaks to other people, other cultures, other traditions. Jesus spoke to the early church in the bible, spoke to the Romans, spoke to the people of the middle ages ... etc and they had very different ways of life than us. What I am getting at is in a sense we have to surrender our judgments. Jesus leads the church and we have to take our lead from him.
What this brings up to me is that we need to put Jesus before our culture. We have to be able to surrender everything including our way of life to Jesus. How many of our ancestors had to surrender or change their way of life to follow Jesus. I think we should try to follow that lead.
It's a funny thing God is unchangeable. Yet he is living. How do those things work together? We as human almost understand living and changing to almost interchangeable.
God lead us
God speak to us
God teach us to listen to you
God help us to trust you
Gold help us to understand how living and unchangeable work together.
God heal us
