Old Dog Trying to Relearn Old Tricks?
Sometimes I wish I wasn't brought up in a church. Sometimes I wish my childhood, teenage years and early adult life would have been a complete mess and then someone would have swept into my life, shown me the light and love of Jesus Christ so that I would have been saved when I knew what I was doing.
For me, growing up in the church (especially a traditional Lutheran one) has made the Bible and really everything about being a Christian, kind of...well...old hat, I guess you could say. Since I started going to the DTC, I've realized just how "old" my faith really is. So...I've been trying to make a conscious effort to change that.
I've started being intentional about starting my day in the Word but I still feel like it's the same old, same old. The Bible is the living, breathing Word of God, therefore each time we read it there really should be something new, just like all living organisms are in a constant state of change. However, I can't help but read the Bible and feel like it's the same, old story. It's humbling really...to be in this position. I won't say that it's enjoyable but I think it's a good place to be.
