“Made for spirituality, we wallow in introspection. Made for joy, we settle for pleasure. Made for justice, we clamor for vengeance. Made for relationship, we insist on our own way. Made for beauty, we are satisfied with sentiment. But new creation has already begun. The sun has begun to rise. Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world … That, quite simply, is what it means to be Christian: to follow Jesus Christ into the new world, God’s new world, which he has thrown open before us.”
N.T. Wright, Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense
You have a new, cleaner, look since I was here last, Steve. I like it 🙂 Sorry I’m such an infrequent visitor. I agree with your sentiments but have too little time to settle in and read. Best wishes and thanks for your support. 🙂
Hi Jo! It’s great to see you here! 🙂
The new look came as a result of needing higher contrast, as it was not so easy to see for a few people(including me). God bless you, and see you soon! 🙂
That makes sense, Steve 🙂 God bless!
Love it! (if there is one theologian we need to take seriously in our time, it is N.T. Wright) Now I just have to live it…
Amen! Oh the living it part, lol! 🙂
the stuff we can’t take with us is the stuff that weighs us down, fine post, thanks
Amen! Thanks so much for your great comment! 🙂
