Christian Mediocrity Part 1

Here is an ironic situation. Christians claim to be closest to absolute Truth. (That I believe.) That implies that Christians should be closest to God in understanding Him and His ways. They should be most like Him of all people. He is the Creator; they should be, in His image, little creators. (Not that we can create in the physical realm ex nihilo; there is no claim here to godhood. Put down the pitchforks.)

If Christians are a reflection of the living Creator God, why on God's pretty green earth are we SO often the singular most noncreative and mediocre group on the planet???

I'll continue this rant later but suffice it to say now that it seems that in America that if something is popular in the secular community, there will be some Christian(s) who will seize that concept (music, dress, language, artform, etc., etc.) and Christianize it.

Thus we become a subculture of derivation. We are like human xerox machines or cameras. We see and we copy. God help us to be more creative, more willing to take risks to do so! Let's be creative and innovative as Our Father in heaven. WE ARE NOT MACHINES, WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE LIVING GOD!

Whew, I feel a little better for the moment. Just don't get me started on the current state of vacuous, formulaic worship music...
