In light of my recent post on dealing with controversy, I thought this article from Tim Keller was worth sharing.

Controversy is nothing new to Christianity. The Kingdom of God exploded on earth in the midst of a world of controversy. There was controversy between the Jews about whether to try to rebel and overthrow Rome, and fight for their freedom. There was more internal controversy between the Jewish religious leaders about whether there would be a resurrection. Then Jesus enters the picture, and it gets even more controversial.

Kevin DeYoung’s post today ties in well with the Gospel and Politics series we just finished, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Peter, leader of the disciples. Always the disciple listed first. Always the first one to do something crazy. He’s the perfect representation of you and me.
When we look at the beginning of Peter’s journey with Jesus (Luke 5:1-11; Matt. 4:18-22), we see a couple of amazing things:
1) Jesus tells Peter to cast his nets into the lake for a catch after Peter had been fishing all day and caught NOTHING. Peter does it.
2) Jesus tells Peter to follow Him. Peter does it.
