Secrets to Vital Faith
Did the word “secrets” get your attention? I thought so. I recently
saw a magazine ad selling “secret scriptures” not included in the
Bible. It played on our suspicion that the established church has a
conspiracy to keep the real facts from the people. In the fine print, the
ad talked about the gospel of Thomas and other ancient writings which
did not make it into the Bible. These “Gnostic” texts were excluded not
because they held truth, but because they were judged as fabrications
and fiction. (They are available in most research libraries for free, by
the way. The ad was a money-making scam.)
Real truth is usually not hidden. It stares us straight in the face. It is
“secret” only because it seems so familiar that we assume it is
outmoded and obsolete. The Book of Acts tells the story of the early
church and the practices which caused it to multiply. These practices
are the same which stare us in the face each Sunday. In our bulletin
under the heading “Core Values” is a list of forces God used, and still
uses, to grow the Church.
