“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” -C.S. LEWIS
Lewis is right as usual. And I think we can test our personal faith commitment by a similar test: Either we are completely disinterested and uninvolved, or we are completely invested in Jesus of Nazareth’s vision for human flourishing. The one thing we dare not be is moderately committed church attenders. Of course, the reality is that the American church is, by and large, comprised of and producing moderately committed Christians.
May we become fanatics for Jesus once again and “turn the world upside down” for his cause (Acts 17:6). Lord, help us to love you with all our heart, soul, mind and strength — and forsake all others for your Kingdom’s sake. I believe MainStreet is calling people to a higher commitment to Christ and I’m proud to lead this beautiful and messy, faithful and determined community of ragamuffins!
“Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” -JESUS
