The Path (as a podcast).

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Jeff

I turned a featured post, The Path, into a podcast episode:

Imagine there is a pathway before us. Those who are faithfully following Jesus daily by faith are walking straight ahead, empowered by grace. Those who fall into the ditch on the left are self-absorbed or apathetic, while those who fall into the ditch to the right desire to follow but are over-stressed and overwhelmed. Jesus walked the path perfectly for us, and invites us to join Him, walking in His steps. A meditation on following Jesus (Galatians 5:16 & Hebrews 12:1-2).

A satisfying life.

“It’s the responsibility of every Christ follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God, or else sin will start to look good.”

—Dallas Willard, Spirit of the Disciplines, p. 80.

Feed me or feed others?

If you ever say to your pastor, “Pastor, It’s your job to feed me.” He should graciously remind you, “No, it is your job — and will become your joy — to feed others.”

[See Ephesians & 2 Timothy 2:2]

Consumers cannot become disciples who make disciples unless they are drawn outside themselves.
