The Dynamic Christian 
  Cross

"Love does no wrong to a neighbor;
therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."
                    -Romans 13:10




What is a "Dynamic Christian"? In the Interpreters Bible concerning 1 Timothy 2.8-12 the commentary refers to something called "stabilized piety." Stabilized piety is described as a rigid loyalty to old religious practices and an unreadiness to recognize the call of the Spirit to new ways. This "stabilized piety has been responsible for the defense of slavery, child abuse, and many other social ills through out the centuries." The commentator goes on to say that "Not stabilized piety, but dynamic, creative piety is the fruit of the Spirit."

I believe we need to reexamine our beliefs with a view to being sure that we fully understand what they mean. Once we've done that, the challenge is to then figure out meaningful ways to share them and apply them to the world and culture in which we live today. A "Dynamic Christian" tries to move beyond "stabilized piety" and to apply "dynamic, creative piety" to their faith and behavior.
