Thanks to Inward/Outward for this great quote...
A Gospel That Unsettles
A church that doesn't provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin, a word of God that doesn't touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed -- what gospel is that? Very nice, pious considerations that don't bother anyone, that's the way many would like preaching to be. Those preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not to be harassed, so as not to have conflicts and difficulties, do not light up the world they live in.
~ Oscar Romero: The Violence of Love

Nice quote! And amen - a word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin can hardly be called "incarnational," wouldn't you say?
Blessings!
