Blog quote of the week by far

Funny how the church has conspired to encourage Christians to ignore and explain away all the stuff that might mean we have to change our lives beyond the internal religious self-advancement project. I’m not sure we are even reading the same pages. We might talk as if the liberal’s doubts of the miraculous undermines faith, but I’ve rarely heard anyone address the wholesale avoidance of direct instructions by the so-called bible believing folk undermining faith.

And maybe that is the essence of my unorthodoxy. I’m not prepared to play at being a Christian any more – either I am prepared to take on all it means to lead a sacrificial life or I should stop pretending I have anything to do with the man from Galilee.
