Living a life that is
sold out for the sake of
the Gospel of Jesus
Christ is not a safe
endeavor. God has no
intention of creating a
safe environment for
Christians. Walking in
His will and walking on
faith requires that we
step outside what we
find familiar and
comfortable. It requires
that we leave behind our
concepts of what is possible and what is not. Living completely under the
influence of Christ involves trusting that He is in control even when
circumstances appear completely out of control.
When we choose to take the chance and let God use us how He sees fit, we will
begin to experience the wonder of the power of God at work. The more we give
Him, the more He will use us and take us places we never thought possible. He
will transform us and through the experience we will grow closer to Him and have
a greater understanding of what he expects from us.
The Dangerous Faith is not a faith of Sunday morning Christians. It is a faith that
steps outside the church and sees the world as a mission field. It is a faith that is
open to God's call, no matter the cost. It is a faith that can change the world. It
is a faith that can see the power of God unfold. It is a faith that does not belong
to a spectator. It is a faith that requires action.
Even though a Dangerous Faith is something that pushes us far from what we
know and understand, it is far more dangerous to stay where we are and watch
from a distance. Do not let others do the job God is calling you to do. When God
calls, he expects us to respond...NOW! Not walking with a Dangerous Faith, and
missing the point of God's call, can lead us down a dark road of complacency
and lazy, ineffective comfort.
Jesus Himself did not avoid danger, rather he placed Himself right in the middle
of it. He was careful, however, to be certain that He was walking perfectly in the
He calls us to do the same. Walk into the danger of a lost world, but walk with
Him by our side as He accomplishes His will through us.
We Didn't Come To Watch!
