Soon the first of the #BasicJesusSkills series will be published. The first skill we will talk about? Loving your enemies. In the meantime, here's a Rewind Wednesday post from last year. Might be interesting among the polarized responses to the President's speech last night. ✌🏼
Consumer Christians church hop like their very convenience depends on it!
Commitment and accountability are just too inconvenient. Exchanging free church logo t-shirts is much easier.

Consumer Christians are only willing to commit to their own convenience.
They are stuck in the third soil of Matthew 13 and never bear fruit. What we call church growth today is mostly catching more consumers with entertaining commitment-free convenience.

Matthew 9:37-38 (NET) Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”

Things You Don't Want To Hear From Jesus:
“I was a hungry kid at school, but instead of buying me lunch, you bought a billionaire’s overpriced, made-in-China Bible.”

"Go. Make disciples." That's not a suggestion- it's a command.
Can you imagine how different things would be if we focused as much on making disciples as we do trying to prove one another wrong?

Breaking News: The Way of Jesus is narrow—and few find it!
Popularity? That’s the other way…

The crazy thing about the "evangelical" anti-butterfly X-it rhetoric? In the Luke 10 training mission, what's the first step to disciple-making? Extend peace. If the peace remains, stay.
Shaking the dust off your feet in search of peace is obedience to Jesus, not compromise.

Who is my neighbor is always the wrong question. In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus didn't answer that self-justification question with a category, but with a story and a question: Which one BECAME a neighbor? The one who showed mercy.

Agreed. It's just sad that such #BasicJesusSkills have to be defended.
Me: Good morning Jesus! How can I follow You today?
Jesus: Obey all the things I commanded.
