I thought all my problems would be solved when I became a Christian. But in many ways they have increased. Maybe they didn't tell me, maybe I didn't read the fine print, maybe I didn't want to know. Cost? Pain? Sacrifice? Surrender? These elements don't fit into the American way of life of avoiding discomfort and inconvenience. Instant gratification is the order of the day. No goal could be further from Jesus' way of life for his disciples while here on earth. The Life of a Disciple is one of change, transformation and submission. Disciples are intentional about mimicking the habit and attitude of the Master even when the Master embraces a different path. In our journey of life we must (1) Begin with God - all changes begin with a deep dissatisfaction with the current state of thing. Life only makes sense when God is at the core. (2) Belong to Christ and the Church - together we learn, we grow and we follow through on our commitments. We cannot be good believers if we're not good belongers. (3) Become fully Christian - we have at time immature ideas of what Christianity is and means. We signed up for heaven, but didn't expect the Valley of the Shadows. We signed up for 'fire insurance" but didn't expect we would at time smell the smoke too! This week we focus on what it means to become Fully Christian. Our Scripture verse is found in Deuteronomy 10:12-12 (NIV) How would you describe the 'Job Description' for a modern day Christian? Would Jesus agree with you? Join the conversation.
