Nascent Church: Fecundity not Fullness

Questions that keep creeping into my mind...
  • What is the result of trying to go back to a nascent state?
  • What is the results of attempting to rebirth what's already been born?
  • What is the result of trying to relive childhood?
  • Is it redoing our birth that is important, or it is returning to a reality?
  • What if scanning back at the nascent church is not for a pattern to return to, but for a reminder of a reality in which we should inhabit where we are?
  • Can a predisposition towards the past lead one into further bondage, or at least away from God's leading right now?
  • Can the good intention blind us from the excellent reality that could be happening now?
