The Church Then and Now: Low Grade Fever

Fellow Covenant clergyman, Kurt Fredrickson, has an excellent post about the current state of affairs in the church. After reading it I was just stunned with how much I resonated with it. It's like he put words to something I had been feeling and experiencing so deeply but never really verbalized. Kurt says there's a pervasive feeling out there that the church has a low grade fever from a variety of causes. Something is broken. Something is pervasively just not right. The treatment for the fever isn't widely known yet, but we're on the verge of something new. I really believe that a new way of being church is coming but honestly, I don't know what it is. I'm pretty sure we haven't seen it yet. Lord have mercy on your church, and especially on me. I'm longing for something new.
