i recently read a good read... the culturally savvy christian by dick staub.
most of you may know that i have always been OBSESSED with the culture at large and how we as followers of christ fit into it. i have always been obsessed with LIFE and living at a high level and being winsome with the people around us. the bible is pretty clear on being careful how we live with "outsiders" (col. 4:5-6)
for far too long... the church has been silent on the tension that life kindly offers and a little too loud on issues that have essentially caused her to begin to atrophy.
dick staub writes that brennan manning once told him, "i believe the real difference in america is not between conservatives and liberals, fundamentalists, charismatics, republicans and democrats; the real difference is between the aware and the unaware."
i wish that i could write the sound of a face falling off and hitting the ground because that is the sound that i am hearing right now! my face just fell off!
THE REAL DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THE AWARE AND THE UNAWARE!
are you aware of what and who is next to you?
opportunities come to those who are aware... those who are aware then have a choice to make...
faith, risk, influence, change...?
or
idle, atrophy, die...?
are you one of the aware?
