A bit too many stereotyped issues for me! Always the missing ingredient in any of our western churches is Christ! But not just a christocentric idea, but a Christology that is truly Theocentric, and biblically full of mystery! Or as Paul simply says: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Phil. 1:21) WE like the first idea, but rarely are we ready for the second! The point is, Christ is not an “idea”, but both “our life and death”! One has to dig deep in the Gospel-life to see this reality!
