Safety as your primary value is not natural, it's not good, it's very unmanly...

 

"Being alive entails risk. The concept of being safe as your primary value in daily life is not natural, it's not good, it's very unmanly in the sense that safety will not build strength: pain and sacrifice build strength of various kinds. Risk is necessary it is part of life.  Without sin we would still be risking ventures in taking dominion over the earth. There would be things that we would need to do that could go a variety of ways, even without sin. So, risk should be seen as an opportunity rather than something to be avoided at all costs. I think this is something - I mean you know lawyers can be extremely helpful people - I think the idea of being completely insulated from risk - financially, legally, etc - always means that you're playing inside the rules that have been set up by people who don't believe in the word of God, and a Christian simply can't live within those risk parameters."
