Welcome—
When a so-called rationalist points out sin and iniquity and disease and death, and he says ‘How does God answer that?’ you have always a fathomless answer—the Cross.” Oswald Chambers
In America, as in other civilized countries in our world, people have been inundated with religion. This doesn’t mean they understand it, it just means they think they do. Lots of people call themselves Christians, for example, but don’t live like a Christian is meant to live. And I don’t mean they aren’t pious enough, I mean they aren’t real enough; they don’t reflect the historical example of Christ.
The idea of “obedience” has taken a hard hit in our society. But if someone were to prove himself to you—make promises and keep every one of them, never leave you alone or turn his back on you, encourage you when you are down, speak truth when you are confused, be your light when all else is darkness, die that you may live—you might just want to listen when he says,
Matthew 19:21
“There is a difference between salvation and discipleship. A man can be saved by God’s grace without becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. Discipleship means a personal dedication of the life to Jesus Christ. Men are ’saved so as by fire’ who have not been worth anything to God in their actual lives.” Oswald Chambers
