When did we start believing that
God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? That faithfulness is
holding the fort? That playing it safe is safe? That there is any greater privilege
than sacrifice? That radical is anything but normal?
Jesus didn't die to keep us safe.
He died to make us dangerous. Faithfulness is not holding the fort. It's
storming the gates of hell. The will of God is not an insurance plan. It's a
daring plan. The complete surrender of your life to the cause of Christ isn't
radical. It's normal.
It's time to quit living as if the
purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. It's time to go all in and all
out for the All in All.
