When is something considered walking by faith? When is
something considered foolish? Are we all "fools" in the eyes of
the world for following Christ? This weekend I went to a Youth
Specialties seminar in Grand Rapids and Mike Yaconelli was the
speaker. It was powerful to hear him talk about the Christian
faith as being dangerous. During one of the breaks, I was chatting
with a older gentleman in my congregation about the uncertainty of
my future. He mentioned to me that God speaks through
opportunities. He is a wise man that has followed God. He told me
that he is a little scared of retiring because he doesn't know what
God will ask of him. I felt like I could totally relate.
