Not sure if its a good disruption or a bad disruption. But you seem to make this argument that God's kingdom is all about failure and so therefore you, in order to pursue God's kingdom are going to pursue failure. I think your upside down in your logic here. God embraces failure out of grace, but I do not believe that God promotes or encourages failure as a character trait in fact it would be quite contrary to His nature to do so. Now I do agree that in general we as humans tend to uphold the wrong things as success and vice versa. But again that does not mean that failure is a virtue of God. And I think that is the essence of what disturbs me. Failure a virtue of God. What do you think?Kenyon Gerbrandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206996538832386035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21583268.post-89115930804994897162007-10-12T15:15:00.000-05:002007-10-12T15:15:00.000-05:00Ethan...I know that you know this, but you perform...Ethan...I know that you know this, but you perform everyday for an audience of One.Kenyon Gerbrandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206996538832386035noreply@blogger.com
