female Christian bloggers. There is no harm in these. I am fascinated,
however, at the difference in expression of faith there is between the
male and female world. This is a massive generalisation which I'm
relatively proud of.
In this world of finding the Gospel of Jesus and digging deep, the
male and female jump into two very different pools. Even when issues
are practically identical, the outcome contrasts dramatically. This
boils down to the oil and water syndrome of the human race.
Men and women are fundamentally different. No matter how much you put
men and women into the same category, the men always get violent and
the women always get emotional. (Please note my comments on
generalisations mentioned earlier.)
Trouble is brewed when the gospel is to be communicated to a crowd of
men AND women. How does this message gt both of these people at once?
It is a message of love and violence. Commitment and endurance. Hope
and power. Nothing short of a timely paradox. A timeless Truth that
filters through to our society like the fumes of a strong cup of
coffee waking the dead.
The message is a wake up call and a reassurance. This world is in a
terrible place, claims the message of Jesus. This world is headed
toward judgment. This same message in an instant gives hope beyond
reason. Justice has been and will be done. The hungry will be fed. The
mourning will be comforted. The toast will not be burnt anymore.
I have to live in this paradox. Thank God for the church. I don't
think I could do this without community.
