A DICHOTOMY

I have such mixed feelings about mega-churches, mega-conferences and rock-star pastors & musicians. On the one hand thousands and thousands of young people are getting all excited about the Lord. They do what young people do, expressing themselves with love, awe, respect and few, if any, inhibitions! How great is that!
.
But the aspect of never making a real solid effort to get to know the true nature and essence of God and how to make a genuine contact with Him … this is almost criminal! Not knowing the actual kingdom of God and how to become more and more aware of its ever-presence … well, there’s no excuse for it!
.
What Would Robin Do? I’d treat the two factions quite the opposite. I’d tell the Mega people that if they care one iota about the God that they think they’re promoting, they must make a good strong confession over and over again loudly, even musically, that this party atmosphere is merely an introduction … and not the real essence … of God.

And I’d yell at the uptight book-writing intellectuals to get out and live the joy, passion and ecstacy of the most incredible Messiah the world has ever known. Yeah, that’s what I’d do.
