A Month Old Thought

Just as I was about to delete the following statement from a report I wrote a month ago, I decided to paste it here as it continues to sum up so much of what I'm thinking and hoping to be rebirthed from. It also reminds me of the Dessert Fathers and Mothers of old.

Most persons in the U.S. are silently and unconsciously worshipping the idol of self-autonomy, consumption and technological progress. This quiet religion may be the single-most difficult challenge for the Gospel -- mainly because nearly all of us who are attempting to bear the news of the Gospel are also either unaware of our allegiances ourselves, or simply overwhelmed and underpowered.
