my safety and obedience to Jesus

Do you choose your neighborhoods to be safe?  Do you go to the suburbs to be safe?  Is your first thought in a call to ministry “will my kids be safe?”  I got so tired of hearing that question when we were looking for associates at my church.  “Is your neighborhood safe?”  NO!  And who cares!  Good grief, what does that question have to do with obedience to Jesus?!
- John Piper, “The Supremacy of God in Missions” 

unbelief and theology

When historians of religion look back at the second half of the 20th century they will marvel at how its theologians could have written so much while believing so little.
- Steven Webb, Christian Century (Dec 4-17, 2002)

never been lost

I've never been lost, but I was mighty turned around for three days once.

- Daniel Boone

Or perhaps it was:
"I've never been lost, but I was mighty bewildered once for three days."
