Be Safe

Have you ever found yourself saying those words as someone was leaving? I have. I didn't even think about it..."Be safe!" Where did that come from? Whatever happened to LATER, or, SEE YA, or, hmmmm...BYE!! I even used a PEACE OUT once - I don't want to talk about it...

But anywho.

Being safe is like the totally opposite of what Jesus calls us to. He wants me to live dangerously. If not, why would we need the Full Armor of God. If Jesus wanted us to be safe, He would have told us to pull up the Plush Barka Lounger of Love, or something.

Christ also wants us to "go". It is usually not safe to go out, unless the danger is coming to you, but I am getting off subject.

I think of all the people who have given their lives to share and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't think they would call the Christian life safe. I wonder if I would give up that which is important to me for the cause of Christ. My possesions, my life...what about my family? That would be difficult for me. I think I would rather die.

I want to be dangerous. I want to be a threat. I want Satan to feel threatened by my involvement in God's plan. I say I want that, but am I ready?

Peace out, dudes!

(see, I just can't pull it off!)

Be dangerous!
