Day 364 Disequilibrium

Day 364.
So my Executive Minister had a listen to my controversial Christmas preach (the one where I talked about how Jesus failed) and he told me that I did well at creating disequilibrium.

Disequilibrium [noun] - the loss of equilibrium attributable to an unstable situation in which some forces outweigh others.

Was he telling me that my thesis was 'unstable'?
Or, was he telling me that the forces of insightful new truth outweighed the forces of suggestive heresy...... or vice versus?

But I've found that disequilibrium is an ideal state for re-creation.

I wonder if this was the reality in Genesis 1 - the formless and empty of verse 2
The tōhû wābōhû, a state of disequilibrium (wasteness, emptiness and darkness) was primal conditions for God to move and bring design and shape to. This is precisely the territory that God's creative power manifests itself in.
Sunday's.

Ever entered a Sunday service and everything from the past week is sticking to you. All the junk you picked up as you tried, but could have tried harder, to not conform to the world. Ever entered a Sunday service just desperate to reorient your life back to God and his ways.

I often enter a Sunday feeling formless and empty. drained and bruised by a week of real life living.

Primal conditions for God to move and re-create.

Maybe a state of disequilibrium is the best way to enter, but not leave Sunday.
