Peter Geisendorfer-Lindgren, my senior pastor, and one of the best pastors I have ever encountered gave a good sermon this morning. He compared what we see an hear, and how we interpret it, to how we see and hear God.
How do we hear God? How do we see God? This in a world that seems determined to drown out God's voice? No, I'm not one of those "stick your head in the sand" kind of people who wants to shout out culture to hear God. Quite the contrary. You cannot shout out culture. Culture cannot shout out God. Because culture is there, we are forced to hear it. Because God is there, we get to hear it. The key for Christians is to learn to listen and recognize God's voice in the midst of the chaos that is life, and then to have the courage to follow.
I'm going to think about this some more...both the question of "how do we recognize God's voice? How do we know what it is when it is?" and also the issue of courage. It's a difficult world we live in.
