Grace may inevitably be perceived as a fad by some fickle charismatics. But rest assured, there's nowhere else to go but the revelation of the cross. Those anxious to jump ship into the next spiritual trend may eventually grow bored after toying with grace. But for those who are tired of shiny new religious fads and actually catch the revelation of the gospel, boredom is never an issue".
Here is a short encouraging message by John Crowder
What exciting times we are in. However, many are calling out a hasty "Move on!!" to those who have seen the Gospel clearly for the first time. There is a push for these one's to get busy again with what they deem to be Kingdom activities. My encouragement to those who are still captivated by the beauty of the Gospel and are feeling a pressure from others to "move along now" is this: "Don't awaken Love until it so desires." If you find yourself captivated by His love and unable to do anything else but simply bask with Him in it, I urge you, dont disrupt or force the rhythms of His grace. Stay seated at Jesus' feet and don't let your "older Sister" tell you to 'snap out of it' and get back to work - (however wonderful and necessary that work might be).
Love will compel you - He knows Best. Jesus is still building His church. He causes us to Will AND to ACT.
Let those who are compelled by love work hard in His Grace and Rest and Contentment, BUT lets leave alone those who are still undoing burdens and heavy yolks and are still entering into the Rest that Perfect Love brings. Don't try to wake them, love them. Love has a Desire of its own for each person.
Rest in His unstoppable Love for you
Andrew
