For a long time there has been a dynamic at play in the Christian world. There are those Christians who believe that it is imperative to have a cognitive recognition of our faith. They would say it is about the head, and they would disparage other brothers and sisters in Christ who respond to the Gospel call with their hearts. These heart Christians believed that to engage the mind was to somehow minimize the experience of their faith.
In the middle of this debate, there are some who have ventured to believe that it is both - head and heart. Neither head nor heart need be checked at the door as we take the next steps in our journey of faith. To deny either is to somehow minimize the Faith.
Lately I have come to realize that I am a 3-D Christian. I am of the mindset that it is head and heart, but that they only have relevance and authenticity, when coupled with feet! If all i am is head, or heart, but have not feet, I am nothing. Our Christian faith is not something that is only thought about and dialogued, nor is it something that just gives us warm fuzzies and emotional highs. Head and heart only have true perspective when we put feet to our Christian experience and walk our talk.
How can you today put feet to your Christian experience and realize a 3-D faith?
