This month, the LDS church is sponsoring a challenge to #LightTheWorld with 25 days of Christ-like actions. I think the 25 actions they’ve selected are great, though I do think that to a certain extent they’ve missed the revolutionary, radical nature of advent. This is a season when we anticipate the in-breaking of a god who comes, not as a warrior on a cloud of glory like you’d expect any half-decent god to do, but as a small baby in a barn. A god who disrupts the powers and principalities of the world in favor of a kingdom of radical love, mercy, and justice.

So, I thought I’d try my own hand at a #LightTheWorld challenge. Feel free to add your own ideas in the comments.
