Actually rereading your blog, I think my response comes more from what I am going through at the moment than what you are trying to say - a perfect illustration of your point. I have an aversion to all things (I perceive as) religious. My aim is no longer to live like Jesus did but to know him and see what he works in me. I know that when someone 'tries' to love me with God's love it feels at best insincere and at worst the opposite of love. When people really love me (including people who don't claim to know God) it is not achieved through trying - it comes naturally. But actually I'm not sure this was where you were going with this blog at all! Communication hey. I'm not sure I'd want your job!Nikki Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26927801.post-27711639429340446432014-03-04T15:04:51.309+00:002014-03-04T15:04:51.309+00:00Anon (who are you, I wonder?): thanks for the comm...Anon (who are you, I wonder?): thanks for the comment. I think I used the word 'trying' to indicate that we're not always very good at it, rather than in the sense of striving to keep up appearances. There goes language again, you see?!n0rma1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04759839214467484759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26927801.post-42411591717113167342014-03-04T14:36:26.621+00:002014-03-04T14:36:26.621+00:00I agree with the problem but not entirely sure I&#...I agree with the problem but not entirely sure I'd agree with the solution you propose. As christians we spend so much of our time trying to be something we're not and pretending...but love comes naturally when we know God (REALLY know him - this is where it gets lost in translation!) and His love is real to us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26927801.post-61833450203218954142014-03-04T14:03:58.671+00:002014-03-04T14:03:58.671+00:00Yes, amen to an ecclesialogically normative Christ...Yes, amen to an ecclesialogically normative Christo-centric incarnational missiology.Aidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645311170110688150noreply@blogger.com
