Redeemer Devotions for March 19, 2014

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

This week: God as un-theoretical. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com .

 

God as un-theoretical creates life that does not live according to the way things have been. God as un-theoretical brings forth life that is practical - love as practical - mercy as practical - justice as practical. We could go on and on. The point may simply be that our God pulls us from the table of discussion out into the action of everyday life. Sitting at the table is only for the sake of moving us out into action. God as un-theoretical makes theory have life that shows itself through experience. We are not meant to linger in the arena of 'what if'. We are invited to step into the 'what if' and find out things like: what if we loved in the way of Jesus or 'what it' we were merciful and took the step to touch the untouchable? Then, the only talking would be about what we actually were becoming and how might we be open to ongoing change.

 

O God of love and new life, inspire new life as you have promised. Amen.
