A friend who is a pastor referenced an article by Jim Wallis at the Huffington Post which only reinforces the difficulty I have with the easy generalizing trap we sometimes fall into. What does it mean to be "evangelical"?
The good news -- the Good News -- is that Jesus came to save sinners, of whom I am chief. But did He come to save me so that I am part of His club (yay! I am now IN! Heaven is my reward!)? Or did He save me so that I can be part of His movement which is supposed to remake this world?
What do we do after we believe? And how then should we live?
Am I left or am I right? It's not that simple. Well, maybe it's simple, but not easy.
