What does it mean to "follow"?

Francis Chan has been ministering to me in such a powerful way.  His teaching is simple, basic, practical, real and HARD!  What?  Hard?  How can simple be HARD?  Well, because our flesh doesn't like to submit.  We like to do what we want to do.

Yesterday I posted a link by Francis called, Basic, and today is once called, Clean Your Room.

What do we mean when we ask our children to go clean their room?  Well, we mean for them to go and DO something; like make the bed, pick up the dresser, put clothes in the hamper, straighten up the books...action. Right?

Why do we expect action from our children yet we ourselves don't live a life of action?  We think that when Jesus said for us to go "do" the gospel, we think that means going to a bible study, memorizing scripture, talking about the Word or even going to church and hearing a sermon.  Don't get me wrong, those are all fine and good things, but are they GOD things?

See, God is interested in what we DO.  Remember the sheep and the goats?   (Matthew 25:31-46).  "The only difference between the sheep and the goats, according to the scripture, is what they did and didn't do." - Keith Green  Reminds me of a fabulous song I heard years ago, by Keith Green.  Take a minute to listen to the Sheep and the Goats.  It will change your life!
