The Challenge
#2
I've gone round and round with this in my own mind. I want the whole world to know, but so far, very few are receptive. It's not like the packaged "gospel" sold in media and in churches everywhere; it really does require a serious sense of conviction before people will hear it. I suppose that does save us the heartache of dealing with a large membership of spiritually stillborn folks.

Around here where I live, I generally don't start off saying much about WC and heart-led. That waits for them to move closer to what they can see of my conduct and visible faith. I use familiar terms of mainstream religion when it seems to help, but I do talk about "God's Law" where it fits. When you wrap talk of "law" in compassion and love, it seems to capture some ears, if only just for a few moments. If people ask, I'm likely to use the term "Christian Mysticism." But I believe it's far more important that you approach the thing from within your own sense of living in faith. I doubt any two of us would have the same way of meeting the challenge. I believe you are on the right track, Iain.
