What do you think? What does admiring vs following Jesus mean in your own personal walk with Christ? How do we move from “pew warming Christianity” to committed discipleship?
Awake, O Sleeper! Some good stuff in there. A dilemma for many churches. What will we do with this man Jesus? As a lifelong member of the church, I have struggled with the question of the Christian walk. What does it look like? Who are we called to be? “You shall know them by their actions (or lack thereof)” 1 John 4-5 paraphrase. Motion – Action – Obedience in love. Thanks Mike
