A week exploring: a faith to live for… a faith to die for?

Paul writes… welcome to this week’s blog theme: a faith to live for… a faith to die for?

Who owns our bodies? What is worth dying for? How do we/can we die when as soon as we open our mouth to say we’re a christian everyone else around us dies of boredom, rolling their eyes in apathy? Where does martyrdom fit into our faith in a post 9/11 world?

We are priviledged to have a Craig Hovey, author of To Share in the Body, as our guest this week. Craig has written a post for the site which we would encourage you to think about and interact with him and each other.

We also hope to have a couple of response posts from some of our other guest authors and a wrap up at the end of the week of questions and themes to explore together in the future.

    This should be interesting and timely for me. My family has started a little adventure of sharing God’s life with our neighbourhood. I wrote about it here: http://www.d-train.net/article/313/can-we-go-back-to-theory-please

    The thing that surprised me is how much a little bland resistance to an invitation deflated me. I would love to say it was some form of mini martyrdom, but it’s not. It is evidence of what a big girl’s blouse I am.

    This week may give me further inspiration to get into shape.
