Understanding the Kingdom, Mark 1:14-156/3/2007
Bells across the country are silent. A lot of old churches still have bells in their towers, but many don’t use them because the ringing of those massively heavy bells shakes those ancient towers so badly that the trustees are afraid the bells will either damage the structure or tumble down out of their cradles and kill somebody below! Many new churches aren’t installing bells since they don’t fit with the contemporary image they are trying to project. Still other congregations skip having any kind of sound maker in their tower since solid bronze bells aren’t cheap and even low-end electronic systems start at $2,000. They’d rather use the money for programming. A little more dangerous would be for us to lose our theological voice. I want to spend a second week with you ringing an old and powerful theological bell as I finish a two-part series on Kingdom of God. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m.
