Galadriel and The Chimp

August 11, 2021

Introduction

Like many obviously correct religious phrases, the soothing and very centered one about being

gospel-centered or Christ-centered or Bible-centered is obviously correct, but it is only soothing

because we have not yet connected it to anything that we or others might actually care about.

And what is more, we don't need to connect it to anything because it is so obviously

beyond criticism, it stands alone and has a luminous aura and only a sheer infidel would

dare to question it.

It is kind of like a precious moment's figurine of the infant's Samuel at prayer, and

only someone with a half inch callus on his heart would dare to wonder what would happen

if he got dashed into the fireplace.

Okay, so we are gospel-centered already, but here's the question, the center of what?

Center of what?

There are many Christians who believe that Jesus is in their life, but they have unfortunately

attached an additional stipulation that he had better stay there.

Christ belongs behind the eyes between the ears and for the especially devout, he may also

go down into your heart.

Where?

Down in your heart.

Excuse me, where was I?
