純一性(Simplicity)
純一性(Simplicity)是其中一項仍在討論的宗教改革教義。敬拜、事奉,以及與之有關的一切(包括教堂建築)都應該純一。我那位北佐治亞州的朋友意識到-----即使我們有看到信徒被建造,罪人歸信基督的良好意願-----也常常會忘記:上帝使用平凡人和平凡事來成就祂非凡的屬靈復興。
One
of the under-discussed principles of the Reformation is simplicity. Wor-ship,
ministry, and all the things that go with it (including church architecture)
should be simple. My north Georgia friend was on to something that we—even in
our good desire to see Christians edified and sinners embrace Christ—often
forget: God performs his extraordinary work of spiritual awakening through
ordinary people and ordinary things.
