Walls
I finished up an audio book recently and didn’t have anything else to listen to. So, after scouring my mp3 player I found that I still had a copy of Velvet Elvis on my player. I started to listen to it, and once again realized why I like that book. Whats more important though is a statement that hit me today. “Walls are inevitably made for keeping people out.” That particular statement hit me hard. In the book Rob Bell talks about “spring” faith and “brick” faith. I’ve found all to often we encounter brick walls from people who claim to want the best for you. These same people are the ones who require you to believe certain things a certain way, or you certainly are not a Christian. This type of thinking makes me sick. Whats worse is that there are times when I find myself putting similar walls up, and this simply isn’t acceptable. I’ve decided I’m going to work harder at getting those walls torn down–walls I’ve created around faith, and around self. I’d encourage you to do the same.
