A university English professor recently told me about one of her "teaching revelations". The subject was Shakespeare. Unfortunately, the students struggled with the prose and failed to grasp the significance of the writings. She decided to bring in actors to act out the stories, and guess what happened? The students saw the light. They got it. And the teacher thought to herself, "Of course! Shakespeare's work was written to be experienced, not read."
I thought of this encounter during the worship experience at Carrington Place today. Christ loves us. And how does he want us to live? Beyond his words, in "high def".
What is HD, or high definition?
With regard to your television set, HD is the, "Whoa!" of viewing experiences: sharp, vibrant, clear, crisp, and exciting. It's as close as one can get to actually being on the beach at sunset.
How can we live in HD and shine for Christ? We need the connection-to be "tuned in" to the signal-and to bring the words to life through our life stories.
Hear the words. Know the words. Experience the words.
Sounds exciting!
The HD experience today at Carrington Place was wonderful. And I would like to think that Christ thought, "Well done! Encore! Encore!"
Thanks be to God, the loving producer and director of wonderful works. He has given the call: "Action!"
