Down is the New Up

I was listening to a Radiohead song called "Down is the New Up," and I was thinking about how things are really starting over. I don't want to go all "commentary-on-the-culture" on you and I know thoughts like this have been written about a thousand times over (which is a commentary on our culture itself), but we seem to be in an age where a common thought is that there is no new thought. We are post-everything: postmodern, postchristian, post-i don't know and everything is "vintage" and "retro" (blah) because we just don't have anywhere new to go.

Jesus started a new age. He was there to turn everything over and start a new way of thinking, believing, and living and I think he is still doing so. This post- stuff can be good if you like keeping things fresh. I do and I think Jesus does. If anything gets stale, it's not because God has gotten old and boring. It's because God is moving in new and different ways and has begun a new way of up and we have yet to catch up with him.
