For me the challenge is to ask myself: when did I last bear witness? when did I last resist? when did I last worship? How were they all together?

Holding them together is important:
Witness alone reduces Gospel to something that can be comprehended and owned.
Resistance alone instrumentalises Gospel into a tool for combat.
Worship alone makes Gospel into play acting without reference to real life.
