POSTMODERNISM: Do you wear'traveling shoes'?
silly we might be trying to make a case for
matters beyond our scope.
This phenomenon is why Christians old
enough to have struggled against modern-
ism clearly see the ways postmodernism is
shaping the faith of younger Christians. 11
isn’t that the young aren’t fighting valiantly
They are busy fighting ungodly philoso-
phies that accompany postmodern culture.
Such patterns of our own times are invis-
ible to young and old alike.
Too often Christians deny these water-
marks of time in the very fiber of Creation.
Indeed, the truths of the Bible are time-
less, but we are not. The Creator bounder!
our lives by horizons of time, over which
we cannot peer, tip-toe though we might.
The Kingdom of Christ, too, is time-
less, but our congregations are not. Last
month, you may have missed the brief,
eloquent item on page 5 about the congre-
gation in Ivanhoe, Calif., south of Fresno.
Ding-time member Raymond Buford said,
“Everything gets old, and everything
dies.” It was a poignant item for me.
Let us face the daunting challenge ot
aging — our own and our congrega-
tions’ — with holy courage like Raymond
Buford’s. Gather once more the effects
of our lives and march forward. In the
Promised Land, alone, will rest be ours.
Are you young? Honor the elderly,
listen. Learn.
Are you old? Bless the young and bind
their feet for miles you will not travel.
The only other choice is mutual animos-
ity — a signal that we are not comfortable
in traveling shoes.
Like Clemens and all who see beyond
the surfaces, we must forget the skir-
mish of today and face with courage the
great battle just beyond the horizon. Our
Champion already and always has won.
Clemens, seeing all he loved nearly
snatched from him in life’s last years,
seized the truth and regained his daugh-
ter’s love.
Seize Truth while you may, for “every-
thing dies”.
FROM PAGE J
to have seen — that Mark 1 wain had
become an old fool. Vanity robbed his last
decades of joy. Flattery nearly cost him
everything that mattered.
For years his staff apparently had cul-
tivated in the aging Twain what we call
“learned helplessness" — when our bod-
ies remain capable, but our desires to be
served or flattered cause us to become
less independent in daily life.
I live in a strange incubator on matters
of aging. For the past 20 years, my wife
has been pursuing deeper understanding
of aging in America. Following graduate
studies in gerontology at Abilene Christian
University, she spent years administering
programs for the elderly in a hospital, on
an upscale retirement campus, and in a
specialized Alzheimer’s unit. She is a pas-
sionate advocate for the last third of life.
Why? Mostly because of the late Mae
O’Neil Parker, one of Alice’s adopted
grandmothers in the Central Church of
Christ, Chattantxiga, Tenn. But that’s
another story.
As Alice’s knowledge of the psychology,
sociology and biology of aging grows, she
shares findings with me. Often, 1 don’t get
it. Sometimes I understand.
The truth is that age shapes us in ways
we rarely fathom. The stages of our lives
and the times in which we live stamp us
with patterns we struggle to see for our-
selves.
Doubt me? Is your faith shaped by
modernism? Most would say emphatically
not, because they have lived their lives in
battle against the ungodly philosophies
that accompanied modernism. Christians
who are shaped mostly by living in a post-
modern culture, however, see the stamp of
modernism upon faith too concerned, for
example, with scientific proofs for God.
The very bulwarks against modernism
bear its stamp, these observers might
argue. F or example, modernism focused
us on what we know about God’s will,
building defenses of facts and logic. This
Maginot line, as it were, left us feeling we
had to know everything, regardless how
