PRINCIPLES ARE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE
INSTEAD OF GOD
- Frederick Buechner
People may where WWJD bracelets but their habits and ethics seemed unchanged. Trying to live "What Would Jesus Do?" in the moment or in the crises of decision does not lead people to make the same kind of decisions and lifestyle choices Jesus did. Jesus lived his whole life solely for God immersed in spiritual disciplines. Unless followers of Jesus choose to do something similiar, people will not only find it difficult but impossible to live for God on the fly. It just doesn't work that way!
Anything that puts discipleship on cruise control is not biblical discipleship. So maybe the next time you are contemplating what is God's will for my life, look around, see where God is at work and join Him. You may be surprised by what God is doing.
