One gem that caught me this morning from Bevan’s book Models of Contextual Theology on his introduction to what he calls the Countercultural model:
_____________________________________
The gospel, rather than being a list of doctirnes or moral principles, is considered as a story to be told and witnessed to rather than something to be argued for abstractly. As one practioner of the countercultural model, David Lowes-Watson, put it, we have to image persons who proclaim the gospel not as “salespersons” but as “journalists”. (p. 121)
____________________________________
I found that to be an awesome statement. We are not here to sell the gospel. We are here to journal about it; it effects in our lives and that of others
