Do You Want to Live A Beautiful Life?

This recent post, like many posts at Experimental Theology, is amazing. Definitely worth a read.

I love examples of evangelism that don't involve the usual cold-call, hard-sell method of manufacturing a fear (you will go to Hell!) and then calling for a knee-jerk reaction to that fear (I'll do whatever I have to do not to burn forever!). A colleague referred to this as "evangelism as fire insurance" and I think that was apt.

I prefer "fly or fry" myself.

Yes. I want to live a beautiful life. And an exciting life. An adventurous life, and a noble life.
