Starting a series in January off of Batterson's book "In a pit with a lion on a snowy day." I love the thought of risk being a dimension of righteousness. Using Matthew 25 with the story of the talents as the text, there is so much there when it comes to risk. Risk is seen as righteousness! Risk is seen as faithfulness! The men in the story were entrusted large sums of money and 2 out of the 3 took a risk and the master said, "well done, good and faithful servant." I think we as followers of Christ have a defensive paradigm rather than an offensive one. There is no doubt that the apostle Paul operated from an offensive paradigm. He would move from town to town until Holy Spirit would tell him to stop. Can you imagine in believers operated this way! God did not create us to live a boring life, but rather a life of risk and adventure.
