Hmm, I see what you mean....Thanks for the comment. Hmm, I see what you mean. New Testament excitement was most of what was "reported." The NT is shorter and has a very different focus (in terms of narrative) than the Old Testament. So where do you suppose this predilection to make "evangelism" the only thing that matters in the "modern" Christian life?The Moon in Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746463775107732805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146358104637483494.post-80895343164456572852010-06-25T22:07:13.317-05:002010-06-25T22:07:13.317-05:00I kind of like the old testament better for exampl...I kind of like the old testament better for examples of integrating your work and spiritual life. Granted, our Christianity is more like the new testament in that we aren't "God's people" as a nation the way the Israelites were. But there are all kinds of people doing normal jobs- herding sheep, governing, soldiering, what have you, and being blessed by God because they glorified him in the process. New testament Christianity is very revolutionary, with a lot of heroes and miracles and training of disciples, and less everyday living it out, or so it seems to me.Liz Comptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794343826659644118noreply@blogger.com
