in the office i get to think alot...

I find this concept weird: This idea of being "relevant" to todays society. If I have to hear that word one more time....
It's not about the lights, the best music, the best speakers, the best art, the coolest trends that make us God-followers. Its the fact that we are supposed to completely embrace that we're different. I have been reading this little book thats just awesome. Its called, "in the name of Jesus". He says a quote:
"The leader of the future will be the one who dares to claim his irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation that allows him or her to enter into a deep solitarity with the anguish underlying all the glitter of success and to bring the light of Jesus there." Henri J.M. Nouwen
I feel that we have clung to the 'glitter' because we have lost faith that the simple words of Jesus, this uncluttered message is powerful enough to change lives. But it is. So let us cling fast to the idea of being irrelevant.
Matt 4:3-4
