BEYOND SUNDAY: “Old Glory” or “New Hotness”

Friends,

I have been privileged over the years to be let in on peoples hobbies and passion projects. People love to talk about doing things they love to do. One of those passions is car restoration. And I have learned there are two schools of thought. One is restoration to “old glory”: everything is original and lovingly restored. The other is using the original as a start and then snazzing it up by adding new engine parts, new seats, until it is the “new hotness.”

I think sometimes we try to do both at the same time in Church. What does restoration look like when we think about faith? What does restoration look like when we think about relationships?

Yours in restoration and hope, Rev. Kirsty.
