Thanks for your post and your thoughtful words. You write, "We want to be safe in a safer world; God wants us safe in an unsafe world." I say, right on! I think that one of the single biggest dangers in many of our churches (including mine) is the attempt to be safe. The "doctrine of saftey" (as you put it) may be the single biggest heresy in the established church today. I love the way you encourage us to be safe in Christ by engaging the world with Christ. Thanks for your thoughts.
