I was just listening to a very nice worship song that I’ve had for a while now, when the line comes up that says, “I’ve been looking for a deeper place when we can finally be as one.” And I thought, really? when we can finally be as one? You haven’t found that deeper place yet? Are you in Christ or aren’t you? What was your baptism for, then? Look, mate, you have the Holy Spirit, the first fruits of your identity in Christ. You’re supposed to take the rest of it on faith. That’s why the feeling of intimacy isn’t always there – so you can lean on His word instead. Look man, you only undermine your faith when you look to the wrong things to sustain it. The Christian walk is designed to thrive on a taste and a promise.
Consequently, this song, or at least that line, has been ruined for me. Thank you, theology.
