Technique or Transformation?
It is not about technique, it is about transformation.
Technique is to modern evangelicalism what circumcision was to the NT church.
We don’t need to know “how to”. We need new hearts.
So we are free of the burden of technique yet saddled with the knowledge that there has always been the distinction between the unacceptable offering and the acceptable offering.
We have to give God something and so what we give and how we give it matters.
Ah, so there is then, a technique to transformation.
Prayer, Scripture, Community, Worship, Service, Sacrifice
And to the floundering, disconnected, or lost I simply say, these techniques have always worked and always will work.
Like GK says, “Christianity has never been tried and found wanting. It has only been found difficult and so not tried.”
Because there is no such thing as an undisciplined disciple.
If He intended for us to be undisciplined in our pursuit of Him, Jesus would have chosen a different word to describe those who follow Him.
