The problem with maxims or common phrases we use to define our community is that they get cliché quick. Am I the only one who gets a bit nauseated using the same pithy statements over and over? It’s not that they’re not meaningful; on the contrary, we’ve said them repeatedly because they’re meaningful. But often when we say them so much, it’s easy for them to lose their impact and for us to get annoyed at the sound of them (or maybe I’m being too honest…).
But the fact is, these phrases were created because they’re true. In this series of devotionals, I want to unpack a few of the maxims we have here in DC Chi Alpha so that they’re not just clichés but real statements of our theology, our worship, and how we express those things in our community.
