Liz invited me to attend a speaker series at Biola (Bible Institute Of Los Angeles). The guest speaker tonight was Steve Porter, an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Theology, and he talked about “The Catastrophe of Following Jesus”. This was the third in a series of six from the Institute of Spiritual Formation, but I missed the first two.The talk was about the complacency of Christ followers and the misconception of our self-identity. We feel that we’re more peaceful and that our lives are in order, but that’s part of the misconception. Actually, we should be viewed by others as more challenged in our daily lives, as we are all sinners trying our best to live our lives according to Christ. None of us are perfect, and we shouldn’t be in the eyes of those around us.
