The Goodness of Lostness

Posted by dk on August 1, 2006

The church I see in Acts
is so different from the church I see today.

Following Jesus was an all-consuming fire
and some
(many)
surely did perish in its flames.

Today,
Jesus is that little extra
that makes our lives nice.

Have we made a mockery of the sacrifice?

When we thank Him for saving us,
are we really thinking He’s made us safe?
