Welcome to Truth Matters Discussion Board:

When listening to this talk i began to think about the context by which we relate to today’s generation as christians. What has changed and what is the current path discussions ,about God, are going- in public arenas. Do we really talk about God as if He were once alive and now dead? Do we acknowledge Him as the Living God and or speak of stories from a book that is aging faster than we are? What is Our role in today’s society? How are we to speak to God and allow God to speak thru us in a generation that is becoming more and more isolated and distant from God.

Rev O’Neill stresses that it is important, whatever our theological position is, to see that as in the Old Testament temple there is a difference between the Holy place and the Holy of Holies. In the Holy place there was still some light, which corresponds to our thought life and our feelings of love and affection. But the Holy of Holies is completely dark. We cannot see with our eyes, nor even with our thoughts. The only way we know anything in here is if God himself reveals something to us.
