The Beauty of the Gospel

I was in small group on Thursday night and we were talking about what it means to live an offensive live.

One of the girls in my smizzle grizzle started talking about the beauty of the gospel. The captivating character of God. She stated that the gospel wasn't offensive but the way people took it was. She also said that we shouldn't be trying to live an offensive life, we should be trying to live a life drawn into the presence of God, and many situations will follow.

To live an offensive life is to realize that you are in a story that cannot be controlled but can be lived. It is a story that captivates all of us. It is a story that allows the greatness of God to be apart of our every day lives.

The thing is that to live this life is to follow the holy spirit around. We don't that do that. The H.S. is not a fixture in our faith and is something that is not regularly talked about. How can we learn from God, and follow Christ, if we are not be led by the Spirit.

Any thoughts?
