For: The Institute Of Contemporary And Emerging Worship Studies, St. Stephen’s University, Essentials Red Fall ‘08 Online Worship Theology Course with Dan Wilt.
Reading through the class responses to the Week 1 Essentials Red discussion question, I noticed how many classmates grew up in the church. As we all recounted times and places that we have realized how God has shaped us as worshippers, I began to think about those individuals who Christians would call “unsaved.” What are their times and spaces where God shapes them?
I believe we, as Christ-followers, are critical to their times and spaces. The apostle Paul reveals that to us in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 that God has given us the ministry of reconciliation and that we are Christ’s ambassadors through whom he makes his appeal to the world. We remember that many times and spaces in our lives shape our life as a Christian. Let’s not forget that as we become part of others’ time and spaces.
