Off and on for years I have read Eric Hoffer, the blue collar philosopher. Here’s a paraphrase that we could easily adopt to the CoG and our growing up in it. ” The rise of the present is hard on the old. It devalues their experience and convictions and reduces them to frustrated spectators. Caught in a whirl of accelerated change, we begin to wonder if the denomination or our faith can thrive in an environment so lacking in continuity.
I also like an Oral Roberts phrase: God is a God of the now!
