wHAT ARE WE TO DO?


Reading a book called "Just Courage". Chuck read a quote from it in church a couple weeks back. I had to put it down - it is scaring me a little bit. This guy is writing my thoughts and questions
VERBATIM. He talks about "divine restlessness" - a "voice of sacred discontent" - "the voice of a holy yearning for more". "This is the supernatural moment when the rescued enter into their divine destiny as rescuers. This is the critical transition - when we who have been rescued by Christ come to understand that our rescue has not been simply for ourselves but for an even more exalted purpose. Indeed our own rescue is God's plan for rescuing the world that He loves."

He goes on..... "We're really uncomfortable about where the adventure might lead. While nodding affirmations in Jesus' direction as he beckons, we cannot get our feet to actually move. "..........."How do I actually live with bravery, love and significance....... we have all had moments and glimpses of our own courage........ how can we live like that so consistently that it becomes who we actually are?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... and his next line - and mine as well........."WHAT ARE WE TO DO???????"
