A Christian World View (Essentials Blue Fall 2008)

For: The Institute Of Contemporary And Emerging Worship StudiesSt. Stephen’s UniversityEssentials Blue Online Worship Theology Course with Dan Wilt (ICEWS, eb 08)

ECHOES OF BEAUTY call us to God as Creator, the God who creates. Sin manifests as degeneration and we human beings, as SubCreators, are called to re-create. Our lives becomes a creative act overlapping  heaven to earth until the day of new heaven and new earth arrives with Jesus return.

 

ECHOES OF JUSTICE calls us to God as King, the God who reigns. Sin manifests as a distortion and we human beings, as ImageBearers, are called to reflect. Our lives becomes a royal act overlapping  heaven to earth until the day every tongue confess and every knee bows down with Jesus return.

 

ECHOES OF RELATIONSHIP calls us to God as Trinity, the God who relates. Sin manifests as independence and we human beings, as Community Builders, are called back to relationship. Our lives becomes a communal act overlapping heaven to earth until the day we will be face to face with God in eternal fellowship with people from every tongue, tribe and nation with Jesus return.

 

ECHOES OF SPIRITUALITY calls us to God as Savior, the God who saves. Sin manifests as death and we human beings, as Salvific Storytellers, are called to to share the Story. Our lives becomes a narrative act overlapping  heaven to earth until the day we will enjoy real and eternal life with Jesus return.
