If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

sour grapes, if you ask me
ReplyDeleteI was moved by his comment about Christians being All-Inclusive in Heaven, yet we are so EXCLUSIVE here on Earth. How sad. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, we are to go out and be salt and light, but we need to keep in mind Paul's warning in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.
We will undoubtedly spend our days around non-believers in the workplace, in school, and in our neighborhoods. If we will just live our lives in joy and love, they may just want what we have. A 'Christian Walk' doesn't need to happen in a bubble.

I think the key in what he said was "I have not given up, I am just trying to find my place". It sounds like he might be going through a ministry change. It might be time for him to leave the church pulpit and work in a more hands on ministry position ie soup kitchen, street chaplain. There is always a chance that when we are feeling this way we are being prompted to move on to the next things God has for us.
ReplyDeleteGreat point, Dave.
