"St Peter's Denial"
When Oliver Cromwell found there was no precious metal except statues of the Saints to coin in England, the radical soldier and statesman of England replied: "Good! We'll melt down the saints and put them in circulation!"
That brief but direct order states the essence of the practical goal of authentic Christianity. Not rows of silver saints crammed into the corners of cathedrals, but melted saints circulating through the mainstream of humanity. Where life transpires in the raw.
Oh that we as Christians might be melted down and "put into circulation."
