Safety

"Make no mistake: There is no promise of safety in Jesus' call. As he calls us into the frightening arena, he points to the wounds in his hands and side, as if to remind us that we are afraid for good reason. It really is a dangerous world. It really does wound us. Eventually, it kills us." Mark Galli

Forget all the stories about how Jesus can make life better - by solving debt problems or helping someone overcome some relatively mild vice. The truth is, Jesus is totally messing up my life!
