Song of the Day:
- whatever's playing in Middle Ground right now
Book of the Day:
- Jim & Casper Go to Church (Jim Henderson and Matt Casper)
You know, since this is the seventh day of this project, and I'm in a very restful place right now, catching up with old friends and mentors, I think I'm going to refrain from writing some big ecclesiastical treatise tonight. Instead, I was really convicted by a quote from Matt Casper in the pages of Jim & Casper Go to Church, so I thought I'd share it here:
"I guess I'd just like Christians and church leaders to be more honest. Not just with me, but with everyone in their churches. Stop treating faith as a fact. Call it a hope. Call it confidence, not certainty. I guess I'd like some straight shooting: 'Hi. Life is challenging. But we've found that being followers of Jesus has helped us. Maybe it could help you, too.' That'd be refreshing. And I'd be interested in hearing more and asking questions. In short, I'd be interested in having a conversation."
Ditto, Casper.
Peace and Blessings,
Tom
