That our God would only be safe if He were dead. But He is the Living Word and His Word is a flashing, double-edged sword and He doesn’t write Himself into neat five-point outlines but He is like the wind — and He speaks in parables that subvert and poetry that ignites and metaphors that jolt and there is nothing safe or small or stiff about Him. <snip> And there is so much we don’t understand though we steep ourselves in the infallible Word, that can’t be domesticated and entirely deduced by finite minds in a world where He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. <snip> You can only be marked as safe if you’ve fashioned for yourself a God small and tame. And what the world desperately needs is more dangerous disciples of an unsafe God. Read the full blog here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the adventure begin again and again...I've thought about this many times...if we would just spend time in His Word...We would see that our Lord was very very adventurous and amazing!!! And to think that The Word says: 1John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked...What Lord? Walk as You walked? But how? You mean spending time with You? In the secret place...in prayer...waiting...and then knowing in our knower it's time to get up because faith without works is dead...what an adventure...
