“Most of us have learned how to celebrate our inclusion in God’s great and glorious work, while functionally caring for little that does not directly address us. In doing this we have Christianized our autonomy. Essentially, we are asking God to give his endorsement to our attempt to shrink the transcendent glories of his kingdom to the size of our circle of personal concern. And even though we are trying to live inside of God’s boundaries, we have still manufactured a life where self is at the center. It is quite possible for our Christianity to be quite narrow and selfish and to not be aware of the shrinkage.” Excerpt From: David Paul Tripp. “A Quest for More.” iBooks. https://itunes.apple/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=703573CFA12B881D0CA74CC38A1C7508
