Finished reading McLaren's THE LAST WORD AND THE WORD AFTER THAT. I really like the two questions on p.171.
The two key quesions for the Western, evangelical modern thinker have traditionally been:
1. If you were to die tonight, do you know for certain that you'd go to be with God in heaven?
2. If Jesus returned today, would you be ready to meet God?
He brings up two alternative questions instead:
1. If you were to live for another fifty years, what kind of person would you like to become - and how will you become that kind of person?
2. If Jesus doesn't return for ten thousand or ten million years, what kind of world do we want to create?
Good stuff. Much more pertinent to life now (for me anyhow). Still trying to digest the book as a whole. Definately thought-provoking.
Peace, my friends. Revolution. Go.
