A Letter to the North American Church

Thoughts like these run through my mind on a regular basis.  What's it all about?  Are we living like Christ?

This article from Ann Voskamp is beautifully written and speaks to my thoughts as well.

Absolutely....

This feels so fresh and new, a revolutionary way of thinking and yet, the whole point is....this is Jesus.  This is the man we follow.  He is grace and mercy.  Thank you Lord for making a way for all of us.  I hope you find the way he's made for you.

"Jesus remained politically neutral, unswervingly, despite the teeny tiny fact that the Savior was expected to engineer freedom through political upheaval. He never once pandered to the powerful and prominent. He was called a drunkard and a fool for the company He kept. Jesus committed His kingdom to the most unlikely: the sick, children, women, the poor, the marginalized. Everyone else? Blind, deaf, according to Jesus.

So if it wasn’t Jesus making enemies out of the adopted, it had to be the structure in which we contained Him."
