All This Postmodern Stuff - Part II

You know what?
I don't want to be a postmodern before I am a Christian.
I don't want to have an academically acute understanding of my theology but fail to love my neighbour.
I don't want to spend my lifetime criticising Christians who haven't quite arrived at my super-intelligent level of cultural analysis.
I don't want to think I am non-judgemental, just because I've shifted from judging the poor and rifraffy to judging the rich and the evangelical.
I don't want to define myself by what I am not.
All I really want is to love Jesus.
I want to pray a lot.
I want to serve and not always have to be in the spotlight.
I want to have time and interest for people who are different.
I want to be part of an imperfect - yet seeking to be like Christ - Church community.
That's all.
I think that's pretty much what it means to be a disciple.

All this postmodern stuff is really frustrating me. Someone said "don't talk to Europeans about postmodernism. It's like telling fish about water". I agree. Spare me the pomo BS, I'm ok with trying to live out my faith in a culture that I pretty much understand already. I don't need candles and ancient liturgy to feel like I am being relevant.
