The following excerpt is from, Jim and Casper go to Church. "What I'm trying to say is I'm hearing a promise of personal happiness through a series of things not do rather than things to do. I guess you'd say that it's a call not to act, rather than to act."I have been thinking about this idea the past few months. Christians have been known more for what they do not do, instead of for what they do. They don't smoke, they don't drink, they don't have sex outside of marriage. But what are they to do?
How about being know for radically inclusive community, abundant giving, and loving your neighbor. Instead of inspiring people and spurring them on to what Jesus called "The Kingdom of God", we confront them with problems in their lives that they already know exist.
