What does a well lived Christian life look like? A lot of people would answer that question by focusing on what they don’t do. Don’t have sex, don’t drink, don’t curse, and all that is fine, but Christianity is not just about the don’ts.

As followers of Jesus, we are not called to sit in a white room and never be tempted or mess up. We are called to be out there loving, serving, and being involved in people’s lives. Faith should be alive and active.

Nature hates a vacuum, just removing things doesn’t work. They must be replaced with something new. God did not change men like Abraham, Moses, and Peter by sanding off their rough edges. He gave them visions, adventures, and challenges. An active faith is what leads to change, not the other way around.

-Matt from The Bridge
