Missio Dei

Moby has a new album Last Night out which I haven’t heard yet, so I was listening to Play. Too many good songs on one album. In looking Moby up I found this,

“I can’t really know anything. Having said that, though, on a very subjective level I love Christ. I perceive Christ to be God, but I predicate that with the knowledge that I’m small and not nearly as old as the universe that I live in. I take my beliefs seriously for myself, but I would be very uncomfortable trying to tell anyone that I was right.” Moby (source)

This for me is what it feels like to be an emerging Christian. I hold on to what I believe but at the same time I am hit with the reality of my own humanity, one defined by severe limitations in language, cognition, and ego. I want to be right, but I have found that it is this desire to be “right” that sometimes blinds me to the reality of God. And it is this tension that I am learning to navigate.
