Everyone Wants a Revolution. No One Wants to Do the Dishes.

Well-written call for balance from InterVarsity's blog. 

"I’ve read a lot of really good discussions lately about the recent emphasis on "radical" Christianity. This Radical Christian movement is responsible for a lot of good, and I’m grateful that I’ve been irrevocably shaped by it for some fifteen years. When we fearfully cling to the status quo and the comfortable, we must be challenged by the call of a life-altering, comfort-afflicting Jesus. But for those of us — and there are a lot of us — who are drawn to an edgy, sizzling spirituality, we need to embrace radical ordinariness and to be grounded in the challenge of the stable mundaneness of the well-lived Christian life."

I remember a time in Mexico on a short term missions trip where I was assigned kitchen duty on the Mission. I was washing and praising God, thanking Him for the opportunity to wash "His" dishes. I felt a spiritual tap on my shoulder, and was interrupted with "Um, you know those dishes at home? Those are my dishes too."

Humbling.
