The soon-to-be-published Jared at the Gospel Driven Church today launched a 5 day series in which he posts his own 95 theses for the American church, 19 per day. Today's theme was discipleship and here are a few of them:
5. The American Christian takes for granted the convenience of the availability of God's revelation in the Holy Scriptures. [salguod: I too often resemble this one, which makes #6 & #7 that much more painful to read.]14. The Christian in the American Christian ought to affirm and embrace the cost of discipleship, but the American in the American Christian hesitates to deny himself because Self is his highest value.
16. ... The American Christian's schedule and routines reflect he believes his days belong to himself and not to God.
Good stuff. If you're not a regular reader of Jared's blog, I suspect this series will be a great intro into why you should be.
