Emily talked at SofaChurch the other night about a programme on the Amish people called Trouble in Amish Paradise.Andy and I watched it last night and found it fascinating. It threw up all sorts of questions for me, regarding God's provision to faithful people, how we show our love by our actions and how we choose to think about money, possessions and lifestyle in the thick of consumerist culture.
Above all, it struck me that here was a young family (who any of us might be friends with), trying to make sense of what the Bible says within the context of their upbringings and in a world that shouts very different messages. Not unlike us, perhaps?
