C.S. Lewis understood Hell not as a place where God locks people out of Heaven but a dungeon that we lock ourselves into. So we hold the keys to liberation from our captivity.
We are held captive by:
Our desire for Independence
Mundane Celebrations
Limited language skills
Sacred Cow Rituals
Animated Super Heroes
The same old songs
Our Worship styles
Our limited Vision, Spiritual cataracts
Our Idolatry of Holy days
Let us use the keys which we possess as a community to free ourselves from the present dungeons of mediocrity, unevenness, poorness, weakness, and pitchiness that indwells the halls of our hearts
Here are the Keys:
We need to become a village of Interdependence
We need new Celebrations
We need new Language
We need new Rituals
We need new Heroes and Sheroes
We need new songs
We need new liturgy (styles of Worship)
We need new Eyes
We need new Holidays (Holy Days)
We need more Holy Ground.
1 Pt 1:16 - Be Holy, for I am Holy
Exodus 3:5 - Then He said, "Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
Acts 7:33 - Then the Lord said to him, 'Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
1 Samuel 2:9 - He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness.
Leave your shoes here, because where you are going is holy ground. Will you join me.
Let us not be silent anymore.
Let us sing a new song!
