Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small,
love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

Article: Signs in the Church by Jason Goldtrap. May 18. 2014
Thursday, to celebrate my wife Jamie’s 51st birthday,
we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. While waiting in line for the Kilimanjaro
Safaris ride we noticed an inadvertently funny sign, “Please do not throw
objects such as film canisters, food or hats onto the savanna.” I chuckled; how
many kids today have ever seen a film canister? The sign was a relic. It was
relevant when the park opened in 1998, but now it’s old and the message is out
of date.
This church has some old signs. “We sing
without instruments.” No matter the prevailing opinion at Christian
universities, regardless if young people think Sunday morning is dull, even if a
piano sounds better, our congregation will worship using only the voice. Colossians 3:16
Another old sign, “Godly marriage is
one man with one woman.” No matter the Supreme Court declaration, regardless if
it turns some people away, even if we are called “bigots”- this church will
honor only holy matrimony. Matthew 19:4-6
The last old sign has just one word
“Modesty.” No matter the changing fashion, regardless if “everybody’s doing
it”, even if we’re accused of being too judgmental- this church will rely only on
God’s timeless beauty. Titus 2:1-8
If we ever fail to remember these old
signs we’ll have a new one: “Closed.” Revelation
2:5 Jason Goldtrap
