I visited a new lifegroup this evening (Mel was babysitting, so it will be her turn next week) and we had a very interesting discussion about the resurrection of Christ. One of the questions that was raised was about our security in our relationship with Christ. This lead to some interesting points being made.
All the while I am thinking about what makes us so shy of our faith in the western cultures. After reading Adam's blog this evening (Pomomusings), Cornel West's comment makes a bit of sense or gives me more to think about, "To be a Christian is to live dangerously, honestly, freely - to step in the name of love as if you may land on nothing, yet to keep stepping because the something that sustains you no empire can give you and no empire can take away. This is the kind of vision and courage required to enable the renewal of prophetic, democratic Christian identity in the age of the American empire."
I wish I could live more dangerously, honestly and freely.
