What do I have to offer?
Let's suppose that I've become a rather fluffy sort of christian, where I'm quite accepting of traditionally-frowned-upon sexuality (gay people, extra-marital sex), I'm not scared by other religions; I'm keen on protecting the environment; I don't like defending my "right to smack" my children, the prostitution law reform was ok with me, I'm not quite sure the Bible is absolutely the best guide to life, I can sometimes countenance abortion as an acceptable option, I'm happy with women in church leadership, I don't really think a lot about "sin", I wish we could help poor people more...
What is the difference between me and a nice Green party member or liberal do-gooder?
Why bother with this Jesus thing?
What is distinctive about following Jesus? What do I have to offer someone else, apart from being a trendy lefty?
That's so beautiful!
Thank you.. I'm going to hold that thought.. (good news for the other half of the Cityside Admin team, huh Craig?

well I was thinking about
well I was thinking about what you said in the context of love, a love relatioship and how when youve been with someone so long you can get a bit numbed to thier uniqueness. Thier smell, or nice skin that would turn your head on the street if they werent already yours. I think often how nice it would be to see the person I love for the first time now, and watch myself, and keep that initial wow for later when Im drousy from life together. thats what I think about love, and the long term.,., Im sure Jesus has a love for the long term, Its just me that falls in and out of the romance and devotion
