The curse of the restrictive but
On the 31st October 1517 a young revolutionary climbed up the steep steps of a church in the small German town of Wittenberg. The busy square full of locals going about their daily business unaware of the history about to be made. With each step the young Martins breathing became heavier, a combination of adrenaline and nerves as he drew closer to his goal. As he reaches the half way point it begins to rain heavily. The square empties, the clouds thicken, wind bellows, lightning fills the sky, the heavens make themselves known. With his sodden clothes clinging to him and water dripping from his bearded face he reaches the door. Lifting a hammer and a piece of paper out of his pocket he holds them aloft, lightening fills the sky and in unison with the crack of thunder the bang of hammer on nail send an echo of protest through the corridors of history....................Well thats the way most history books with a protestant bias like to put it.

White taxis and butternut squash
God spoke to me very clearly just recently. He conveyed to me how much He cherished me in a way that I had never quite grasped before. I viewed a wonderful film in my mind’s eye of a maternity ward where my birth was taking place. God waited for me to take my first breath of life and let out that first cry which brings joy and relief and wonderment to a parent. I felt wanted, cherished, loved, safe, adored, like my life was planned and I was longed for by my heavenly father. I’ve never felt as loved as I did in that moment. God delighted in me.

The curse of the restrictive ism
Back in the middle ages when men wore hairy capes and women stirred cauldrons with big sticks people were not too concerned with rationalism. After all there wasn't too much to rationalise, most peoples worlds probably didn't extend much beyond the edge of their village or town, If it did it was flat, and had an end which you might fall off. Life revolved around hunting, eating and running away from vikings. By the end of the 1700's hairy capes went out of fashion, you could no longer fall off the edge of the world and people started to think a bit more. Enter modernism. Architecture got boring, art went abstract, Nietzsche got excited, Freud got in your head and belief in God became irrational. Everything was explainable and an explanation for anything that couldn't be explained was found. The curse of the restrictive ism had started.

Life in authority
A couple of weeks ago, Gillian & I spoke together in Citygroup about Living in the fullness of Christ’s authority. These are a few of the thoughts that I shared that morning. I don’t know that I have any great insights, but hopefully something here might be useful to you, and might spark some discussion. There are two key things that I was considering: 1. What happens to us when we submit to God’s authority? 2. What happens around us when we step into the authority that we have through Christ?
