Is experiencing God's love enough??
I follow quite a few blogs, and one of them I follow is a woman named Kelly Hampton who, in my opinion, is a very thoughtful and inspirational person. She enjoys life. She slows down. She takes time to enjoy the small things. I'm inspired.
I've occasionally wondered throughout my time of "following" her what she believes. In some of her posts, I would see glimpses of a strong Christian Faith come through. In other posts, I would question my assumptions. I was just never sure.
Until her most recent post.
I was intrigued. Not only because she has a beautiful heart and way of thinking about faith, God, and Love, but also because I know it is exactly how so many people of her age/era (young mother, young adult, etc.) would completely agree with what she is saying and hoping for in her life and faith.
I was also intrigued because as a person working for such an "organized religious institution" (aka the church), this is the exact group of people that are either missing, or coming to bring their kids to Sunday School just out of guilt that they feel it's the right thing to do (or that's how they were brought up, or there are expectations from the grandparents, etc.)
I invite you to read her post here...and then do your own reflecting on this. What do you think? Is she right? Is she wrong? Where do you stand? Is it important that the church continue to work towards "reaching" this young adult era that we so lack in the church? What's the point? (and please...share thoughts with me in the comments!!)
