You might get it right in theory, but when you describe it after watching one, you realize there\u2019s so much more that goes beyond the theory. Experiencing and describing how God moves in your life goes way beyond applying a theory or doctrine of right thinking. There\u2019s fullness and wonder that explodes in the reality of \u201cGod with us!\u201d Generous EngagementChristians are called to engagement with the world. That\u2019s what we mean when we say we are \u201cthe hands and feet of Jesus,\u201d bringing the Kingdom of God wherever we go. Unfortunately, we often choose to engage in ways that can feel more like a sales pitch than real concern for the world in which we live and participate. Becoming generous in our engagement requires a mindset like that of Christ, where salvation isn\u2019t giving up on the world but is instead redemption of God\u2019s creation. \u201cYour will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven,\u201d wasn\u2019t a platitude - it was the goal. Let\u2019s consider what that looks like as we prepare ourselves for generous engagement."}
