H(at)T(ip) to Collide Magazine for this gem from Catalyst 08:
“[Seth] Godin defines a heretic as ’someone whose faith is so strong they’re willing to take heat from the status quo.’ The example he gave that resonated with the Catalyst crowd? Martin Luther. He was excommunicated (and nearly killed) for his commitment to his convictions. I couldn’t help but wish the Church found itself infested with more ‘heretics’ these days—people willing to take heat for challenging our narcissism, greed, and laziness (among other things).”
I love this. A “religiously unaffiliated” marketing genius challenging a roomful of passionate, engaged Christians to live the life that God intends for them. That is beauty. That is God.
What about you? How are you being “heretical” in your context? What “whisper from God” are you hearing that would make everyone else around you shriek in disgust? In the words of Nike: “Just do it.”
