Soul Craving: Erwin McManus
The Cultural Architect of Mosaic in Los Angeles spoke at the first general session this morning. Here are some thoughts, since he was all over the place. Good stuff, mind you, just a little free range!
-There are many answers to the same questions. Its is the questions that matter. They unite us and reveal the "eternity in our hearts." ecc. 3:11
-Romantic truth is just lying to ourselves.
-We have given up our children for our traditions.
-If you don't have doubts and fears, your are not thinking deeply enough.
-With trust you can have meaningful conversations about truth.
-We are not telling the story, God is telling the story.
Like I said, good stuff, although you may have had to be there.

"We have given up our children for our transitions."
What did he mean by this? That could be a really, powerful statement if it means what I think.
He was talking about trading a faith that could save our children for traditions that isolate them instead from that very faith.
We are more insterested in keeping things status quo than we are in changing to make faith accessable. This lack of change has cost us generations.
Oh! TRADITIONS. (see what happens when you leave home without your editor?)
Heck yea. Of course that's true.
