I’m Being Ripped to Shreds Right Now (Crazy Love Ch 5)
Posted by Jonathan Bryant on Sunday Apr 25, 2010 Under UncategorizedWow…
Had our lifegroup tonight and we discussed Chapter 5 of Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Some quick highlights:
-How often do I love think, do, act, do church, etc JUST BECAUSE someone fed me the method, strategy, & theology?
-How would I love, think, do, act, do church, etc if I KNEW AND APPLIED the BIBLE AS IT READS, NOT AS SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME THINKS IT READS?
-How different do I ALREADY KNOW things should be, but don’t make a change because the way I’m doing it is the norm?
-Maybe Christianity isn’t for everyone. (Rich Young Ruler Vs. Zaccheus)
-Why would I live by philosophies and methods not clearly written in the New Testament?
-What if I, while sharing Jesus with people, told them the truth? What if I told them life may get harder, but Jesus is worth it… instead of telling them Jesus makes their life “better?”
-What if God says I should live a certain way, even if it meant losing everything?
I’m still processing. More to come.
