You can't fly with one wing.
As that is not a secret, I let the thought linger and waited for a paragraph.,,
It is not a given that the culture we love, even a part of, lives is inside us.
(Nor does agreeing with/re-posting all the good posts on facebook mean we are living it out.)
And if the culture isn't living in us we can't spread it. We can't give what we don't have.
If we truly love and believe in the culture we are a part of and desire it to be alive inside us as well, then welcome to the club of courageous living, where attending isn't satisfying neither is pointing the way. But jumping in with both feet and a whole heart, living a sold out life and like Paul can say; do as I do!
There is a Kingdom culture out there - it is bold, courageous, powerful, exciting, invigorating, somewhat unpredictable and so full of life.
It is not hush-hush, be careful of the toes, nor is it disrespectful, but encouraging freedom in each individual to embrace and pursue all that God created them to be, and to embrace each gift and use them.
It is exhilarating and having tasted it there is no desire to go back. It is where the wind flows and where we are called to be light and salt. It is where we soar.
It can seem daunting to step all in, what will 'they' think, what will it cost....
- it takes two wings to fly -
