But though i was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as i continued to think about the matter i gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. was not jesus an extremist for love: “love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”
Jesus Hate Love You
That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
There was a time when only specialized christian missionaries needed to be able to defend the gospel of jesus christ against the attacks of islam. today every christian has an opportunity and obligation to present the gospel effectively and in christian love to the muslims who have permeated our western society. when your neighbor, your mechanic, your favorite basketball player, your employer or employee, or even your children's friends could very well be muslims, the need for proper understanding and an effective christian witness is abundantly clear.

I am in birmingham because injustice is here. just as the eighth century prophets left their little villages and carried their "thus saith the lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns; and just as the apostle paul left his little village of tarsus and carried the gospel of jesus christ to practically every hamlet and city of the graeco-roman world, i too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular home town. like paul, i must constantly respond to the macedonian call for aid.

To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
For every christian, the proclamation and witnessing of the gospel are never an isolated act. this is important. for every christian the proclamation and witnessing of the gospel are never an isolated or group act, and no evangelizers acts, as paul vi reminded very well, "on the strength of a personal inspiration, but in union with the mission of the church and in her name"

The old gods and their magics did not dwindle away into murky memories of brownies and little fairies more at home in a disney cartoon; rather, they changed. the coming of christ and christians actually freed them. they were no longer bound to people's expectations but could now become anything that they could imagine themselves to be. they are still here, walking among us. we just don't recognize them anymore.
