So here's what I'm thinking: The sermon Sunday morning was about Jesus calling His first disciples. The basic premise is this- Jesus saw Himself as a disciple-maker and He is our great example. In the Great Commission He told us all to go and be disciple-makers. You should have seen the look on virtually the entire congregation's face when I told them that God expects THEM to be disciple makers.
We've kinda been led to believe by them(whoever them is) that Christian humility is self-deprecation. This is kinda tied into the last post on Pre-grace. I think we convince ourselves that we are good enough to be saved, but still not "saved enough" to be used. This heavily pertains to me and makes me sad. God wants us all to have the same confidence that Paul had when he said, "Follow me as I follow Christ". To say that today would make you a stuck-up, holier-than-thou loser. It shouldn't!
What do you think?
