Had dinner again tonight with my mate Owen. We try to catch up every Wednesday. We spent a lot of time tonight talking about what makes a true follower of Jesus.
This came in on the ‘reframe’ list just a few minutes back. What do you think?
After thinking and chatting with mates, here’s my question; you reckon if we basically facilitate mediocrity (makes Him puke) in the church, and don’t emphatically bring attention to what Jesus says in Mat25 (feed the poor, clothe the naked, visit those in jail”) that we are basically facilitating a road to hell? I know it’s pretty scary, but you think it’s true? I know most pastors probably love God, are great guys, and would be devastated to get to judgment day to have Jesus say, sorry, but you didn’t complete the actual assignment (even though the singing was nice).
I wonder whether God would like things to become really uncomfortable for those of us who like to dwell in mediocrity – if we leave, then there’ll be room for new people who are desperate for God’s love” we could go bury the dead, while others actively follow Him!
Hmm” It’s a tough call” but then, I don’t reckon Jesus would be invited back to too many churches for a second preach…

Hmmm… what’s your point O?…
