Keep running

Jeff Weddle writes about the mundane call of Christ. He writes to counter the view of Christian discipleship as an "adventure":

The problem with advertising the Great Commission as a great adventure is that it really isn’t, at least not in the way people generally define the word “adventure.”

In fact, what Christ is doing is calling people to a way of life. It’s a day-to-day existence with some triumphs and many failures. If you’re doing it for the thrills, expect to be disillusioned quickly.

We are called to run a race, not an “X-treme Gr8 Race” either, just a race. A long, tedious, injury filled race of faith. Our only advice for this race is–put off sin that besets us and run. Just run. Day in and day out. Run.

Amen. Posts like that one one remind me why Jeff Weddle is one of my favorite writers (but more on that later).
