We are looking for love in all the wrong places. Now is the time for us to get it right.
For a successful dramatic conclusion to Adventism in this world we must be looking for Christ to be dynamically reproduced in us individually and as a community.
Let me illustrate – the other day we spent most of our time trying to decifer the malidies of our church institution. Next people were waxing elequent about the ecclesiology of the church and how change in that arena may make for church growth instead of membership loss.
Here’s the truth… if I can handle the truth! It doesn’t matter what structure the church has. What matters is that God’s people are reflecting His character (“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”)
So here’s my headline: “Preparing for the Return of Jesus… Adventists surrender wholeheartedly to Christ!”
Only this will fix out problems. The rest is nothing more than a mirage. Well… that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
