Playstation-Claiborne mash-up

Bored? God forgive us for all those we have lost because we made the gospel boring. I am convinced that is why we lose kids to the culture of drugs and materialism, of violence and war, it’s because we don’t dare them, not because we don’t entertain them. It’s because we make the gospel to easy, not because we make it too difficult. Kids want to do something heroic with their lives, which is why they play video games and join the army. But what are they to do with a church that teaches them to tiptoe through life so they can arrive safely at death?

Jesus invited ordinary people to come out and be part of an adventure, a journey that kept surprising them at every turn in the road.
… The church exists as resident aliens, an adventurous colony in a society of unbelief.
Stanley Hauerwas and William M. Willimon
