Here's a Eugene Petersen quote I am going to use this morning. It highlights the question of whether as Christians we grasp the radical nature of God's call upon our lives?
“On the whole, I do not find Christians,
outside the catacombs,
sufficiently sensible of the conditions.
Does any-one have the foggiest idea what sort
of power we so blithely invoke?
Or, as I suspect,
does no one believe a word of it?
The churches are children
playing on the floor with their chemistry sets,
mixing up a batch of TNT
to kill a Sunday morning.
It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and
velvet hats to church;
we should all be wearing crash helmets.
Ushers should issue life preservers
and signal flares;
they should lash us to our pews.
For the sleeping god may wake some day
and take offense, or the waking god may draw
us out to where we can never return."
