eh?

listening to 5 year younger music.. rather like relient k’s new stuff. Good job rK!
Seems I’m finally at the age (& so was Dan Montgomery, J.Thompson & C.Lyons when the started their respective ministries) that I can organize & pull something off. But it’s been ‘kept inside’ & growing for the past 8-10 years! What I wanted then is what I can accomplish now.
But the significant question is will I accomplish now what I wanted then, what I want now, what I needed then, or what I need now, or what others needed then or what others need now.
I think of all the people I’ve seen do ministry that fits them & their peers. This has been going on for HOW LONG?? Our parents did ministry how it’s been done & how it fit them. But it doesn’t have the same language anymore. It needs re-generationalized.. and that’s what each generation has done- fit themselves. I know why too- decontextualized stuff doesn’t ‘hit’ me as hard. I can’t groove to the newer music like I can to my old High School music.
Yet,we’re to reach all groups, and each group is looking for ‘others just like me’, so they won’t jive with what they see as a compromised form (though it may indeed be stronger than they understand)..
Still thinkin through some of this. I’ll probably update this later..
