The Journey Is Our Home   

"Please Don't Cut the Flowers"

Paul and other evangenists drew people to faith in Christ in cities around the Mediterranean Sea. They formed into small congregations, sometimes house churches. Paul's letters instruct the young churches about beliefs and practices which help believers mature in Christ. Colossians warns against a series of spiritual distractions. He teaches the all-sufficiency of Christ. His most vivid work picture in chapter two is being rooted in Christ.

In our time as well, we need to ponder where our roots are planted. What spiritual nutrients are we absorbing? Do our roots supply life and make us healthy, fruit bearing Christians? Or as Professor Elton Trueblood warned: are we cut flowers, colorful, gorgeous for a few days, but separated from the Source of life?

The Christian practices of regular worship, loving service, private prayer and Bible reading may seem too ordinary. Synthetic secular distractions and religious novelty fascinate many. However, it is the classic disciplines, tested by faithful Christians through the centuries that form us into mature, fruitful believers. --Vic Stoltzfus
