Beyond How
Paula (my bride of 38 years on the 19th) sometimes shares about her childhood and her (now engineer) brother’s explanation of special effects ‘ruining’ a movie. In an increasingly technological culture, we learn ‘how’ something ‘works’ and think we understand. We are no longer amazed at the ingenuity, creativity, or perseverance involved, we are satiated by a simple explanation of the mechanics.
Such a limiting of our experience of life is nowhere more damaging than in relation to God. For example, we read ‘the Holy Spirit will come upon you’ and the marvel of the incarnation becomes another point of theology and doctrine. In such a brain based existence, “Is There Any Wonder?”
May God grant that we think enough to wonder!
Pastor John Michael
