Reclaim Awareness

Jesus never told his friends to worship him.

He told them to follow him…not conceptually or theologically or even physically, but to follow his Way of living and seeing. To worship Jesus as savior is a passive waiting for transformation to be gifted from outside in, a static bestowal for which we conform, not transform. But Jesus insists that the awakening that is Kingdom is not out there somewhere

Quotes by David Brisbin (?)

“When people really are writers, they write. Artists draw. Golfers golf. Fish swim. Can’t keep them from it; it’s who they are. They may dream of the big time, but in the meantime, they’ll draw or write on napkins if they have to, and every hallway is a fairway. Or a green.

Dave Brisbin”

“I’m now convinced that if I think I have an original thought, I just haven’t read enough. So I’m pretty sure others are saying what I’m saying, but I’m saying it my own way, which may have just the right resonance for any given listener.
