complacent Christians are the type of people who upset me the most in this world. seeing complacent Christians throw me off. complacent Christians who don't vote or care about politics because "it's irrelevant" to their spiritual lives. complacent Christians who don't bother listening to the outcries from outside the US, nevertheless the ones even in the US. complacent Christians who are only concerned about having "fellowship," which basically seems equivalent to excessive eating, money spending, and time wasting. they make me question whether i want to have any affiliation with them. sometimes they make me question myself. and every time this happens, i feel like i have to start all over in understanding my faith. from square one.
"To be a Christian is to live dangerously, honestly, freely--to step in the name of love as if you may land on nothing, yet to keep stepping because the something that sustains you no empire can give you and no empire can take away. This is the kind of vision and courage required to enable the renewal of prophetic, democratic Christian identity in the age of the American empire."
