Read Today's Passage
wow.....
This is what it means to be a Christian. Not seeking acclaim for what we do. Not correcting those who are wrong. But living a life of complete self-sacrifice in which we are constantly placing those around us above ourselves. It is no wonder that American Christians are so poor at emulating Christ. It flies in the face of the modern American dream. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness no matter the cost to others. And when you throw in do everything without complaining or arguing? Wow. This is such a foreign idea to Americans. We love to complain and argue. It is in our fallen human nature to do so! So many of us do not want to give that up.
And then we see someone who almost died for this life that Christ asks. Can we say that we would honestly do the same?

Neither a doormat or an obnoxious radical be. Not that there isn't a time and place for both, but to live for Christ means that you now have a stabalizer in your life and you can go through tough times with strength. and not get sidetracked by what is going on around you.
