Back in Action.

To inaugurate the new school year and initiate the new regularity of posts, I'd like to have a little conversation. Which means you will leave a response so I'm not just talking to myself.

I would like to ask the question, "What is Christianity like?" What is your analogy to describe this beautiful, difficult, scary, challenging, worth it faith that we've attached ourselves to? Is it a worldview? A stew? A cake? A language?

For me, I think of Christianity as a game. I certainly don't mean to trivialize our faith, I just think that this analogy works. Think about it for a second. In a game, you have your equipment for playing (Bible, worship, etc.), your rules (your theology), different people will develop different techniques for playing (different beliefs, ways of worship)...it goes on and on. One of the interesting things about this analogy is that sometimes, when you're playing a game, it doesn't make sense to anyone but the players (Whimsical Donkey, anyone?). Similarly, to those on the outside, sometimes Christianity doesn't make sense until you get in the game. Also, you can know all the rules, even be an expert, but that doesn't mean you actually play. I think a lot of Christians are like that...

So what is your analogy? I really want to hear. For you, what is Christianity like?

Tonight...

...is going to be good stuff. I know this is short notice but I just wanted to remind everyone that tonight at 6:30 in the chapel is the Contemporary Worship Service led by you guys! An amalgamation of our bands will be playing and I'll be bringing a message. We would love love love to have you all come out and support us and rep the Student Ministry. Get excited. And bring a friend.
