The struggle between believers' work and church (2)

Yesterday, my wife sent me a video explaining classical music, which talked about the tension of classical music in today's society. There are 50 to 60 million children studying piano in China, mainly studying classical music, but most ordinary people in China mainly listen to pop music. In other words, many people study classical music and few people listen to it. This may be a problem with the way classical music is spread. You don't have to know the author, background and creative reasons to listen to classical music. Just like when you eat a dish in a restaurant, the first bite will say whether it is delicious or not. You probably won't think about which chef cooked this dish and what happened to him to make such a terrible dish. Similarly, the spread of classical music can be simplified, clear and clear, focusing on the mode of communication, so as not to make people feel difficult to start.

I think this is very similar to the teaching of the church. We have studied Luther's theology, Calvin's theology, Tianlike's theology and so on. But it seems that believers prefer to listen to "a certain theology" than the theological tradition during the Reformation. This situation may be due to the way of communication and communication. It's the 265,438+0th century, and our theological taste may still be 30 years ago, or it may be influenced by some theological taste. Yesterday was Sunday. A leader told me that compared with the older generation, our younger generation has devoted far more to the church than we have, and their investment in time and energy is far greater than ours.

I'm really worried about many believers in the church today. Besides work and family, they have to live under the theological interest of the church. Long-term fatigue and ill health can not be solved by hanging a bottle of water. Under the influence of this theological flavor, how can you say that you are busy full-time? No matter how busy you are, you are not as busy as the older generation, so you never dare to say that you are busy, with policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. Many young brothers and sisters can say in another way that we have no eyes on this matter, which is very nice and will not irritate another theological taste. Besides, no vision is true. Can our church today provide a vision for believers? Neither believers nor young people are lazy. Sometimes, when you think about it, our full-time job is just a screw on this old machine. For young people who drink coffee, if you ask him to make a screw, he probably won't be interested, because working outside is already a screw, but in church it is still a screw. The key is that we can't see the vision and the great value behind the screws.

Maybe the key is the podium. Believers need to serve not only the motivation of the church, but also the motivation of the society. This involves some basic theological discussions about Christian views on work and spirituality. We can read the first part of the meaning of work: God's plan for work. In this part, Timothy Keller clearly analyzes the biblical view of work and Luther's theological taste of vocation, just as if your theological taste has not changed, then you will definitely live in the struggle between church and work. Which do you prefer, coffee or tea?
