‘Tis the Gift, To Be Free
Like nuclear power, money can do much good, if we handle it well. Unfortunately, most of us don’t. We get contaminated by its power; and we contaminate others by using it carelessly—wanting it too desperately—manipulating people with it—believing in it too fiercely—defending it too strongly. His first disciples were not wealthy—yet they gave up nets, boats, family to follow him--not because it was a requirement for following Jesus, but because it was a consequence. He called—they followed—and stuff got left behind. The stuff wasn’t bad--it was just in the way. So, what holds you back? What things, what ideology, what hatred, what passion, what love? What is so dear to you—in what do you trust so strongly that you can’t follow Christ with your whole heart? If Jesus stood here today and asked you to give up that thing, could you do it—or would you be shocked, and go away grieving?

Pursuing God. A Lifelong Journey
When we accept Christ, according to 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are “…a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” In others words, we are transformed into something new and fresh by the Spirit of God. We are born again. After transformation…what next? How do we become a follower of Jesus? By going to church, to a small group, or to a Sunday school? Will this be sufficient? If Christ is within us, we must daily commit our lives to following Him.
