Living dangerously

You’re heard it said that the safest place to be is in the center of God’s will. I am sure that this promise was well intended, but it is neither true nor innocuous. When we believe that God’s purpose, intention, or promise is that we will be safe from harm, we are utterly disconnected from the movement and power of God. If those who prepare for leadership are looking for the safe place, who will lead the church into the dangerous places? ... The truth of the matter is that the center of God’s will is not a safe place but the most dangerous place in the world! God fears nothing and no one! God moves with intentionality and power. To live outside of God’s will puts us in danger; to live inside His will makes us dangerous.
