I wish we could all broaden. Our horizons, our minds, our expectations for the truth. I wish we could accept that under all of this there could just be something more, there could be something deeper than what we want to cling to, what we want to hold on to, what we want to use to say we know we're right.
But we're not so right so easily, the moment we're convinced of it.
It's not about pursuing truth. That is a bland, neutered dream. What is truth but a set of ideas, and what happens to my life when I've captured them?
Nothing.
Let us pursue something deeper. Something bigger, something more wonderful and something stronger.
Something bold.
We are called to adventure, not to interrogation; to "go and make" not to "read and interpret."
We should know the truth. We should want to know the truth. But the truth sets us free, and when we're free, we have a choice. We can continue to pound out boring old dogmas and chase down some ever-nearing-ancient ideal from a dead swiss-man about santification...or we can do that to which we are actually called.
The mission of God is saving souls and the body works together to accomplish it. You're either working in the body to that end, or you're not really working in the body at all.
So run, fly, dream. Chase something bigger.
Because it is that to which the power and redemption of Christ compels us.
