The diamond and rust of any relationship is really about going along with each other. All long time relationships will have Diamond experiences along with days of rust. That's Life it really is we struggle we have glory days and of course it's all those days in-between which makes us.
Found many times people of course it includes myself. Tend only see value in the diamond periods. As l've got older reaching these days recognise the importance everyday stuff
Faith has periods like that we want mountain top experiences sometimes wonder if Church leaders try to create such experiance. Missions are promoted always away some place. Seldom did we experience mission in our areas. Talk like super spiritual warriors numbering off conversations from conversations. Joining groups to use these collectives as place to evenglise.
These experiences make us grow.
Except they don't it hurts when people move away from city , when stop coming to Church. Find a better ingredient check list with another tride. Deconstruction identified these converiabelt shopping list of faith requirements as simple shallow practice. Damaging.
I too was guilty communicating took part in words that found useful. Bought books hunted down Christian music. Found very little that was acceptable. All the books felt high literature. Even tried to sing the latest worship songs. Went to few concerts. But arrived at a place more social gospel being in cultures where the hurting was taking place. Being on the frontiers saved my true soul and furnished my life with real meaning. But it not a sneaky soft option. It's hard it's costly it's difficult and still occasionally times was Lonlie.
