“What does God expect of me?”

Cover via Amazon

What does God want from me? You might be surprised, but whatever you think it is, it’s really not enough.

“Belief is not enough

Worship is not enough

Personal morality is not enough.

Christian community is not enough

God has always demanded more”

n Rich Stearns

The Hole in Our Gospel

You say you follow Him, but do you really?

What does God expect of those who say they are his followers? We have created a whole list of things, many forged by the modern concept of Christianity. Some of our expectations we have include a moment of personal salvation, regular church attendance, moral living and right thinking, among other things.

But the real test is not in what we think He expects. The test is in what He tells to do.

He wants everything.
“Take up your cross and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24)

He wants our faith to not be a separate experience from our work, school home or community. He wants our faith to be lived out in real life. He wants it to infuse our thoughts, our motives, and our actions. He wants it to spice our language and thoughts. He wants it visible, lived out in those around us.

He wants faith that goes beyond mere words, simple faith or easy talk.

He wants all of you
