Obedience as connection

Brian Colmery has posted an outstanding blogrant against all things effective, relevant, post-modern, emergent, and otherwise trendy in the North American church today. The bottom line? Obedience:

Gentlemen, do you want to be as effective as possible? Do you want to see the church regain her status as a beacon of light amongst the world? Do you want to see the city on a hill calling all (boomer, postmodern, whoever) to God’s own bosom?

If so, forget about how to be more effective. And please forget about how to change theology so that you’re more effective. While you're at it, forget the idea that you have to reinvent church to do it--it's never been cool or hip, and maybe that's for a reason. Instead, figure out how you can love Jesus Christ as much as humanly possible. And then obey His word. No more misdirecting focus on methods instead of content.

Amen.
