In the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30, the master gives each of his servants an amount of talents. In the same way, we each have been given our lives to steward. Everything we have has been given to us. How do we seek an idea of "normal" in Christian life, and how do we plan to live in discipleship as we project our life out into the future? Having a Christian identity means to be obligated. We each need to start to recognize that the obligated life is a beautiful life and to embrace our identity as a watchman, responsible for one another and for our generation.
