I’ve been slowly reading a book* entitled, Why We’re Not Emergent By Two Guys Who Should Be, and I came across an interesting quote. While I’m almost certainly taking out of the context of disproving the validity of the emergent church, here it is anyway:
In the music scene it’s really cool to search for God. It’s not very cool to find him.
Now, I think this quote could be applied to the pop culture as a whole today and not just music. And it can also be applied I think to large segments of the American population. Always seeking but never finding. And those that do find, aren’t acceptable anymore. Just a quote that got my mind moving, and it might do the same for you.
*Disclosure: This is a Moody Press book, and I work for a different branch of the Moody Bible Institute which Moody Press is a part of. Additionally, I heard the author speak about this book when it was first being published when I was a student at Moody sometime in the last year. And finally, I can’t endorse this book, I’m just slowly reading it.
