We cannot find or usher in the life God desires for us through passive faith.

Intimacy with God

 
Currently Reading
I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt: Replacing Souvenir Religion with Authentic Spiritual Passion
By Vince Antonucci
see related

I've been reading this book called I Became A Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt.  The writer, Vince Antonucci has a great way of writing - very funny yet very pointed.  So, in this one chapter entitled "Monk" the author gives some background as to how the whole monk thing started and why monks move away from the world and live in their monasteries.  The basic premise of a monastic life seems admirable at first glance.  These men, in  their pursuit of living a deeply intimate life with God, saw the world as getting in the way.  The solution, get away from the world where their singular focus can be on God and living intimately with Him.  No other distractions to take our gaze off the Savior, to draw our attention away and onto someone or something else.  The desire of having a singular focus and passion that fixes on God seems to be what all of us a followers of Jesus should be after.

ryc: i have a sneaking feeling that the whole "firing culture" unfortunately has to do with being BAPTIST more than being in the south.

baptist churches are autonomous...they don't have pastors assigned to their churches (major pros & cons here) and there is no recourse for those who are fired for no reason.

jared & i are not hard core baptist by any means...perhaps that's part of our problem! (this said a bit tongue in cheek, of course!)
