YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID THAT "GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE." BUT I SAY TO YOU, "GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A DIFFICULT PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE" -Listening to Jesus through Erwin McManus
Listen to Jesus in Greg Boyd words, "Our central job is not to solve the world's problems. Our job is to draw our entire life from Christ and manifest that life to others. Many Evangelicals spend more time fighting against certain sinners in the political arena than they do sacrificing for those sinners. Our unique calling is simply to replicate Christ's sacrificial love in service to the world . . . We need to learn how to walk in freedom from violence, self-centeredness, materialism, nationalism, racism, and al lother false ways of getting life (pp.64-69, Myth of a Christian nation).
Do you think it's the church's job to make the world turn out right?
