"FOLLOW ME."
To understand that calling and Jesus’ invitation, we need to understand the context. In Jesus’ day, childhood education started at age five as young boys went to the synagogue school to learn Hebrew and memorize the Torah. By the time of his bar mitzvah at age 13, a typical Jewish

Like ME he says he wants to be—
That little chap who follows me.
I must remember as I

Mark Batterson said in his book: “All In” – “Most people in most churches think they are following Jesus, but I’m not so sure. They may think they are following Jesus, but the reality is this: they have invited Jesus to follow them.”
Too many times I want Jesus to follow me, to serve my

“Jesus did not say discuss me; he said follow me.” We do not make terms with Christ; we surrender to Christ. We do not compromise with Christ; we submit to Christ. Christianity does not mean being interested in Jesus Christ; it means taking the same oath as princes take to a king or queen in a

Then breaking through the

Consider the following email recently sent to me titled "WORDS WOMEN USE."
"FINE."
This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks——this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

All this talk of following Christ reminds me of an experience I had the other day. Russ Davis called me the other day and asked if I would like to roll some ground for him so he could plant oats. This was definitely something I was interested in so I went out to the farm west of his and met him

As Joshua prepares to enter the land, he confers with leaders from the 12 tribes. Every leader has a circle of influence. It was true in Israel, it is true in churches. But leaders must be united behind the leader, whether that be a Joshua in that day or a

FOLLOWING THE MASSES
A few years ago I was walking down Prague's Wenceslaus Square when I coincidently, without realizing it, found myself in the middle of a protest. It was so easy to blend with them, to get into their middle and march with them, but once I tried to leave that mob, step out and
