Trying to be safe?

Neil Cole is a passionate church planter. He’s come up with a couple of acronyms about following Jesus that are interesting:

When we choose to be SAFE in our life and church…..

Self-preservation is our mission.

Avoidance of the world and risk becomes our wisdom.

Financial security becomes our idea of responsible faith.

Education equals maturity.

However, Jesus calls us to death. Here’s what DEATH looks like….

Die daily to who I am.

Empowering others is my life.

Acceptance that risk is normal.

Theology is not just knowledge, but regular action.

Hold tight to Christ with an open hand for everything else.

“Those who try to make their life secure will lose it,

but those who lose their life will keep it.” Luke 17:33
