Imagine a Gospel for the other 95% of life, and the other 95% of us. Something is wrong . A Christianity that could once build civilizations and inspire high achievement in the realms of art, science, and politics has been witched into an innocuous private hobby. An agenda calibrated to transform all of life is now preached and lived as a mystical experience segregated to the "religious" side of life. The worldview has morphed into a navel view. Unfortunately, a “Gospel” that is only a religious experience is too small to equip us to deal with real-world challenges or opportunities. Houston, we have a problem. And there are solutions. If we believe God has provided us with His power. - If we believe God has provided us with creative alternatives to the status quo. - If we have a vision big enough to engage the dedication of every professing Christian. And finally, - If we can break through the ghetto walls carefully constructed by the generic evangelical culture to restrict our hopes, minds, and lives. That money machine maintained by polished professionals who like having things just the way they are. The publishers who strictly enforce a tone of simpering sanctimony. The clerics who live to do our Christianity for us. A Gospel for all of life will require focused attention from all of us. A methodology for applying the whole counsel of God to every sphere must take the various stages of a normal life into consideration. A married man with children has unique obligations and opportunities. Maybe he shouldn't cash out his share of the Slinky company, leave his wife and kids, and hustle off to Amazonia to serve as on-site sugar daddy for a favorite missionary organization. And biology enforces a specific window of opportunity for conceiving, bearing, and nursing children. We can do everything God asks of us -- but we can't do it all at once! Please join me as we ponder a sane, sober, and exciting way to tackle life in stages.
