God Colors Meme
I recently read a interesting post by Jonathan Brink called “God Colors”. Below I have put the question that he puts forth of how we see the reflection of God in our churches. I was instantly reminded of the song “De Colores” which is used frequently at the Walk to Emmaus retreat. The chorus goes like this:
“De Colores, and so must all love be of every bright color to make my heart cry.”
So based on this interpretation, I believe that we see “God-colors” in church when we see people reaching out to others, both within and outside the church in love through their relationships. This is done regardless of who the person is. In doing this they are acting out their own relationship with God with others. May be a bit simplistic but I believe it is very real.
So here are the rule for this mene (for those of you who don’t know what this is, it is any thought or behavior that can be passed from one person to another by learning or imitation. I didn’t know what it was when I first heard the word.) are placed below:
I want to start a meme that will focus on creativity in the church. I hope you will join me. The meme is simple. Select one option and answer it.
Option 1: What is one thing you have seen in the church that really produces a reflection of God colors? It is so good that people can’t help but realize that God is present and active.
Option 2: What is one thing you would like to see in church that you know in your heart would reflect God colors? Use your imagination. The sky is the limit.
The protocol for a meme is as follows:
Answer the question on your blog.
Link to the person’s blog who tagged you.
Link back to the original meme.
Post these rules on your blog.
Tag at least 5 people at the end of your post.
Let each person you tag know that they have been tagged.
