What If?

What if, as Christians, we gave up living according to the world’s standards – and not in a “we wear long dresses and blow up abortion clinics” sort of a way?

The challenge today is to find the things in our culture that bring us closer to the people we are supposed to be a living witness of Christ to, and to find the things that pull us farther away from them.

Sometimes, the best way to get an idea of the big picture is to get just far enough away from it all to see it from a different angle. (Think of it like climbing a tree as “it” in hide and seek. Suddenly, you can see exactly where everyone is hiding.)

Of course, our culture says that that is crazy, that there is too much to be doing to take time out to climb trees, to learn to see a picture bigger than ourselves. What the culture doesn’t understand, is that there is too much going on in the world not to learn to see that way.
