From the latest issue of Collide:

Seekers and skeptics are born to every generation and mingle in every crowd. Seekers are receptive to the miraculous, responding with amazement and a vibrant inquisitiveness. They are forward looking and search for meaning behind the miraculous, alert for the possibilities phenomenal events imply. They welcome dialog, ask questions, and listen for answers.

Skeptics, though, habitually reject new works with confident scorn, impling or even declaring that the work of the Spirit is, in fact, the work of the flesh. They sit above fresh movements with disdain, their judgement separating them from seekers. Avoiding dialog, skeptics instead declare their rejection and denial of the miraculous.

Can you guess what this article is about? Stigmata? Toronto Revival? Gold Dust? Healing? Lakeland Outpouring? Azusa Street? Miracles? Dead Raising?

Not quite. This excerpt is taken from an article about technology. And how it relates to evangelizing the next generation.

However, the generalization made in that brief passage is pretty accurate.

This is not a super theologically deep post. In fact, it’s not even a rant or a rave. That passage caught my eye as I read through the latest issue and I want to share with you today what I’ve been pondering quietly:

Am I a seeker or a skeptic?
