A Call for Courage

This weekend I attended the Life Conscious Expo at LAX Hilton. The halls teemed with truth seekers, product hucksters, New Agers, Old Agers and philosophers. All manners of wonders could be purchased from $70 water-charging wands (magic beans?), fountain-of-youth pine oil capsules to cancer-curing beauty potions. There were also books for the spiritually curious--wisdom from the ascended masters, warnings of The Shift, channelled material from beyond the veil. But not one Bible.

Here was a great gathering of the wondering and wandering and where were the messangers of Christ? Wasn't He a great mystic, the One who walked on water, healer of the sick, the victor over death? Wouldn't He have loved this crowd? So why wasn't there one representation of the man who changed history and bridged the gap of separation from God?

Oh Lord, give us the courage to break out of comfortable circles and offer your Living Water to those thirsty for your ever-flowing streams. Give us the courage to walk among these strangers as messengers of your wisdom and light.

So be it.
