What's old is new

It's funny but true.  Sometimes what is old becomes new again.  From fashion to music.  From foods to architecture.  Our collective tastes as a culture wax and wan depending on the era and external circumstance.  Sometimes I have no idea why things come back in style, like neon colors or Jelly shoes.

My particular brand of faith has never gone out of style for those that follow it, but it's found a new generation of people searching for an authentic way to practice Christianity.  Our faith remains unchanged.  It's practice is unchanged.  At it's root, the strength of Christ's love fortifies us and drives our being.  That is it.

I found this blog post funny, as it beckons hipsters to check out Christian Orthodoxy as something that is old but still very cool.  We have men with serious beards going on and other trends and styles that are "hip" right now.

What's old is new.  What's new is old.  Today is opposite day.
