radical

What does it mean to live simply?

To go without?

To sacrifice?

What does it look like, today, for a middle-class family in the suburbs of a suffering city, to be obedient?

Where is the line between protecting my family, and loving others as Jesus called me to?

What does it actually mean to love like Jesus does? Even those who hate me. Especially those who reject it.

What is the currency rate for time? How can I equate these commodities to the best of my ability?

How do I attain the confidence to go and do?

Am I just making this harder than it has to be?

I think the answer to all of those amazing questions would have to be yes.

I think something I'm learning more and more everyday is that if we didn't have questions like these, then how could we grow closer to God? I think it's through searching for answers to our questions that our relationship grows stronger.
