Compare and contrast the concept that something that is living means that it is growing, changing, adapting, learning, wearing out etc… with the idea that something that is dead is stagnant, unable to think and adjust, is encapsulated in time etc… The Church is to be constantly adjusting to the culture, the generations, the social challenges, yet at the same time not changing the heart of the message of the gospel. Just like a living breathing organism, we do not change our essence, but we do change our engagement with people and situations. |
