Bonhoeffer & Costly Discipleship
We do not witness to God monastically but in a difficult and corrupted world; but how can we spread the good news if we give up thinking about it when we reach puberty? As Bonhoeffer says, there is no such thing as cheap grace. Managing the Church's decline is not enough.

Naaman's Cure
Our trouble is that we think we are the New Testament leper and are superior about Naaman; what matters is how we come to God, how we maintain our faith and are prepared to make sacrifices; but, remember, for all his poor behaviour, Naaman was cured.

The Proud & The Humble
The New Testament leper's story is relatively simple; but it is difficult being powerful and flawed, like Naaman. We think we are like the leper but we're more like Naaman.
