Are You Dangerous?

16 Aug

“Mr. and Mrs. ____________ have a nice home, and belongings, and two cute kiddies, but are so like the rest of us that it is disheartening.  We are so utterly ordinary, so common-place.  We profess to know a Power the twentieth century does not reckon with, but we are harmless and therefore unharmed.  We are spiritual pacifists, non-militants, conscientious objectors in this battle to the death with the principalities and powers in high places.  Meekness must be had for contact with men, but brash, outspoken boldness is required to take part in the comradeship of the cross.  We are sideliners, coaching and criticizing the real wrestlers, while content to sit by and leave the enemies of God unchallenged.  The world can not hate us; we are too much like its own.  Oh, that God would make us dangerous!” — Jim Elliot

    Lord,
    Please ruin our reputations, and our desires of this world, and all the comforts of this place make bitter to us. You are our only comfort & source of Joy. Your will be done, we give You ourselves and our families do with us as You see. Come and enable us, strenthen us to destroy our altars and ashereth poles to our deaf and mute no gods. We seek you Lord, come help us with your beautiful conviction.
