We have been asking people to consider what living a life transformed by Jesus looks like. As we have focused upon the difference between what the Bible says should be the marks of discipleship and the reality of our own lives I have been struck by a number of things.
1) Most of us say we want to follow Jesus but very few of us actually do much more than the basics of reading the Bible, praying, and/or showing up for worship to make that happen.
2) A lot of what the Bible says about being a follower of Christ has little connection with what our culture thinks Christians are supposed to be like.
3) It all starts with loving God and loving our neighbors.
4) When you look at #3 it sounds so easy, but turns out being so hard.
