Safety

Recently I have been confronted by the “safe” Gospel.  Basically this is when a church or an individual takes the very subversive words of Jesus and makes them much less subversive.  I have seen a lot of this in Christianity lately.  Churches don’t want to offend anyone.  They don’t want people to feel uncomfortable.  They don’t want people to not like what they have to say.  Thal all makes sense to me.  I don’t go out of my way to offend anyone either and I don’t like when people dislike me.  But the problem is that the words of Jesus made people uncomfortable.  They were dangerous thoughts.  I am tired of people trying to make it seem like Jesus is a safe God.
