I TALK ABOUT JESUS

There. I said it. If you want to be a Christian, you're going to have to embrace being a “loser.” Your greatest dreams must be of loserdom. You must long for it, deep in your bones. Which makes absolutely no sense at all for someone looking for the “life to the full” (John 10:10) that Jesus promised his followers.

I like to feel smart, cool, and like I know what’s going on. There’s security that comes from being “in the know.” My issue is that I often have no idea what’s going on. I have ADHD, and my mind goes in all kinds of directions at once, so that’s one factor that contributes to my cluelessness. I feel like the guy eating a popsicle in this clip from Brooklyn 99 (one of my favorite TV shows).

In my zeal to learn how to “properly handle the word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15), I can forget that these words are “living and active” (Heb 4:12), and in them, I can meet my God….This began as a post about the Telios Conference I attended, but it evolved into a reflection on “do I read the Bible without God?” Read the whole post, and you’ll see what I mean.
