        <p>One of my friends posted a link to this article on Facebook a couple of days ago:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.esquire.com/features/best-and-brightest-2009/shane-claiborne-1209">http://www.esquire.com/features/best-and-brightest-2009/shane-claiborne-1209</a></p>

<p>I was surprised to see that much real estate being given to a Christian in a secular magazine, but I think this is an excellent article. The author glazes over the reality of sin and hell somewhat, but I think he accurately puts his finger on a lot of what&#8217;s wrong with the church today, and our call to be salt and light in a world filled with darkness. He&#8217;s also convicting when he says &#8220;We have given the atheists less and less to disbelieve.&#8221; We need to show that Jesus&#8217; power is life- and heart-transforming, and not only that, but it&#8217;s the /only/ way to achieve that transformation.
