FOLLOWING

Following Christ is not an affiliation to a cause where you donate what you want, he's asked you to give up your life.

Following Christ is not a bunch of rules, it's a loving father telling his kids the best way to live

Following Christ is not about a church full of moral people, but about a community around the world filled with crazy love for others

Following Christ is not about how much you do but about what you do with what you've been given

Following Christ is not easy, but life sure becomes easier when you make Him your everything

Following Christ is not about following only when you feel like it, it's about being faithful to love and follow him everyday

Following Christ is not about getting your way or getting to look good, it's all about God's glory

Following Christ is not about hoarding what you need to be happy, it's about giving your life away and having joy even in the face of hardship

Following Christ does not fly in the face on intelligence, there's actually incredible evidence for belief in the savior

Following Christ is not about just being good, it's about a just God giving us second chance through Jesus

Following Christ is not about keeping a list of dos and don'ts, it's about keeping God's word close to your heart

Following Christ is not a lazy endeavor, sometimes it means losing and leaving valuable things in order to love him more

Following Christ is not about man trying make himself good enough for God but about God making another way

Following Christ is not about needing to try harder or be better, it's about nails in a cross and a new outlook on life

Following Christ is not about overcoming the odds, it's about owning up to the fact that on your own you can't and that you owe him everything

Following Christ is not to be pursued like any other pastime, that's because all parts of your life should point to him

Following Christ is not a quick fix or an instant solution, changing a person's heart can be quite painful and takes time

Following Christ is not about religion, it's about a loving relationship with the God of the universe.

Following Christ is not a short sprint to the finish, it's a sweet journey that gets sweeter every second

Following Christ is not meant to be done on a tentative timetable because time is running out to tell others about Him.

Following Christ is not about understanding all the answers, it's about knowing there's a God who does when we don't

Following Christ is not validating yourself by what you accomplish but about realizing that nothing else can satisfy like he can

Following Christ is not a walk in the park because he wants all of you and sometimes you have to walk by faith

And lastly, following Christ is not about YOU - it's about God loving YOU even though you don't deserve it and about YOU loving him back with everything YOU are

Will you choose to be this kind of follower of Christ?
