Today I have been re-reading portions of one of my favorite books, Dangerous Wonder by Mike Yaconelli.
Here's the thought that stuck with me:
"The critical issue today is dullness. We have lost our astonishment. The Good News is no longer good news, it is okay news. Christianity is no longer life changing it is life enhancing. Jesus doesn't change people into wild-eyed radicals anymore, He changes them into "nice people".
I'm ready for a Christianity that "ruins" my life, that captures my heart and makes me uncomfortable. I want to be filled with an astonishment which is so captivating that I am considered wild and unpredictable and . . .well. . .dangerous."
Hmmmm.
