you know when you should study for your Hermeneutics Final thats in 10 hours, but know you shouldn't study for your Hermeneutics Final...
it's sorta like the backwards kingdom.
we are called by God to be irresponsibly responsible, when society forces the responsibly irresponsible.
i might need to explain.
a lot of what Jesus would have us do would be seen as irresponsible. examples: loving your enemy, selling your belongings and following him, dying to yourself, picking up your cross, turning the other cheek, et cetera... he calls us to be irresponsibly responsible.
society has a different ethics. eg: american dream, 2 cars, nice house, saving accounts, retirement funds, masters degree, beware of strangers, bomb your enemies. thus, being we become responsibly irresponsible.
what does this have to do with me not studying? well, i'm going to take 10 minutes of study time to share a story in the next post. i feel my time will best be used replaying what i just experienced, and how i feel about it... read next blog....
