the want and the waiting
so here is my first snippet from walter... "the task of prophetic ministry is to nurture, nourish, and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture around us." yes!! this is resonating with my thoughts from a couple of posts ago. the prophets of the OT were calling Israel to a different reality than was was being offered by the governemt, caesar, etc...and that is right in line with what Jesus is calling the kingdom of God, a new reality. i love brueggemann's words here, a 'consciousness and perception' alternative to the current cultural norm. i think as followers of the way we should embrace this as well - we should be evoking and nourishing the kingdom that we are ushering in. brilliant walter, simply brilliant.
