A little while I ago I re-read Miroslav Volf's book Free of Charge.
It's a fantastic book, but not his best (Exclusion and Embrace is more academic, but it will flip your lid.)
His basic premise is that the Christian life is about two things: giving and forgiving.
As I re-read it I was struck with the thought that if those are the two central themes of the gospel and we're called to be about the Jesus ways of the gospel in our everyday lives then maybe I need to start each day as my feet hit the floor by asking myself two questions:
I bet our lives would be shaped by the gospel more if we were looking to answer those two questions each and every day.
