Prayer Is Not A Discourse. It Is

In Reality This Is The Very Reverse Of What We Are Told About The Biblical God, Who Opens Up Freedom For Us, Who Lets Us Make Our Own History, Who Goes With Us On The More Or Less Unheard-of Adventures That We Concoct.

Am I A Pessimist? Not At All. I Am Convinced That The History Of The Human Race, No Matter How Tragic, Will Ultimately Lead To The Kingdom Of God. I Am Convinced That All The Works Of Humankind Will Be Reintegrated In The Work Of God, And That Each Of Us, No Matter How Sinful, Will Ultimately Be Saved.

Faith Lived In The Incognito Is One Which Is Located Outside The Criticism Coming From Society , From Politics , From History , For The Very Reason That It Has Itself The Vocation To Be A Source Of Criticism. It Is Faith (lived In The Incognito) Which Triggers The Issues For The Others, Which Causes Everything Seemingly Established To Be Placed In Doubt , Which Drives A Wedge Into The World Of False Assurances.

We Have To Admit That There Is An Immeasurable Distance Between All That We Read In The Bible And The Practice Of The Church And Of Christians.

Christians Were Never Meant To Be Normal. We’ve Always Been Holy Troublemakers, We’ve Always Been Creators Of Uncertainty, Agents Of Dimension That’s Incompatible With The Status Quo; We Do Not Accept The World As It Is, But We Insist On The World Becoming The Way That God Wants It To Be. And The Kingdom Of God Is Different From The Patterns Of This World.
