moderation

I have a twitter account. Now, at first I believed it to be highly stupid, but then I joined the club. I don't have a big following but I personally do a lot of following. It's like this approved and justified version of stalking. One of the ones I follow is C.S. Lewis. Obviously, it is not the C.S. Lewis but a collection of his quotes posted at random throughout the day.

Today it said: "Christianity if false is of no importance & if true is of infinite importance but it can't be moderately important." As I've mentioned in the last two blogs, I'm taking a course on philosophy and worldview and how it relates to Christianity. I've come to the realization that too many of us live a life of moderate Christianity. I have been the worst at it. We are too afraid that we'll be associated with either extremists. Still we don't want to say that Christianity holds no importance, so we live in the middle.


It has to do with the culture in which we live. We would rather be politically correct and not step on anyone's toes. The problem with that way of thinking is what I believe has significant and "infinite importance." It isn't something to live out moderately, but passionately.
