      <title>Interesting article in a non&#45;Christian magazine</title>

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

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esquire.com/features/best&#45;and&#45;brightest&#45;2009/shane&#45;claiborne&#45;1209&quot;&gt;http://www.esquire.com/features/best&#45;and&#45;brightest&#45;2009/shane&#45;claiborne&#45;1209&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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&#45; and heart&#45;transforming, and not only that, but it&#8217;s the /only/ way to achieve that transformation.
