"Is Church relevant?" That is the
question many including Christians are asking. Let me ask, "Is water relevant?"
In this land of plenty of options we try to make it relevant. We have various
types of bottled water. We have fizzy water, sweet water, filtered water.... The
list could go on and on. However water is basic necessity. It is needed for our
survival. Do you think people in poor countries like Ethiopia care whether
water comes in a bottle sweet and fizzy or not. Maybe the same is true of the
Church. Maybe the question is not whether the Church is relevant. More
importantly, in this land of plenty how can we make people poor and thirsty?
Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit….(Matthew 5:3)
