No Longer Quivering
by Tim Bayly of Bayly Blog – Warning Isn’t Easy
Editor’s note: Whenever I see things like this posted up on prominent Christian culture enforcers social media or blogs it makes one wonder what’s going on in their church. Doubling down on the the idea of ‘listen to authoritttttttttyyyyy’ seems to be a very big thing in Evangelical circles.
Did anyone catch the post Bayly had up and removed do to the controversy a few days ago titled ‘Christians Whose Mothers Never Had to Worry About Self Esteem’? He had to remove the post and nuke the comments.
we have learned the truths we’re tweeting. Which we haven’t. At all.
Our spiritual insights put online are the way we dress ourselves to make a good impression on FB friends, whatever that is. Quotes we tweet are styles and fads. Chesterton warned against scholarship’s “giggling excitement over fashion,” yet he never saw one FB page of a Christian quoting some book he hasn’t read by some super-apostle he hasn’t met. FB pages are the way Christians get a legal high: “Like wow man! Awesomely deep!”
All sorts of meaning-exchanges but no intimacy.
Then one of the elders asks to meet with us and we resent him because…
He’s not wanting to catch up on our tweets or FB updates.
He knows and loves me.
And Scripture tells me to obey him
