1152: On the Spectrum // Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero 15 (Eric Ludy)
Manage episode 430812983 series 2802407
This is the fifteenth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero. In this episode he labors to parallel today’s modern church with a child “on the spectrum.” Strangely, it is much easier to give grace, patience, and understanding to someone known to be injured, malnourished, and/or otherwise neglected in their development, than it is to someone deemed privileged. And that is why it is important to note that much of the Church today has been stunted in their development and is showing serious signs of social backwardness because of that stunting. The majority of Christians in the West are used to an undernourished diet of unhealthy filler food and have not gained an appetite for real spiritual substance. If we can understand this “spiritual stunting” that surrounds us, it ought to make it easier to show grace and patience to the strange “spectrum” behaviors we are presently encountering in the Church.
