Deliberate Living Recommended

Ken Myers, one of the most influential people in my life (via, primarily, his Mars Hill Audio Journal) says this about the focus of his work with the Journal:
"My work is really about producing thoughtful Christian faithfulness. If you start to think carefully about how you eat, how you spend time, how you think about place, all those things some people may think you’re trying to achieve salvation by works.  So my sense is that people with that kind of tendency, not just in the PCA, accept conventional ways of living from secular culture because they regard the effort to think thoughtfully and live deliberately as a kind of semi-Pelagianism.  And the idea that living deliberately is semi-Pelagian just baffles me.  Because when you don’t, you end up living in accordance with a very post-Christian, and in significant ways, anti-Christian culture."
