It’s not learning to follow man but learning to follow Christ. It’s not an hour a week with your mentor but a daily walk with your savior. It’s not reading a book with a group but includes reading the bible with the Spirit. It’s not easy but it is simple. It’s not going to church but it’s used to show our function within it. It’s not the American dream, it’s the Christian dream. It’s not free but Jesus paid your tuition. It’s not conformity to religion but essential to unity with Christ. It’s not common but it is commonly rejected. And you put the nail that holds every disciple to his cross “It Is Not an Option” but instead a privilege. And while it may not be a quick process you can become one overnight.

The arrogance of so many Christians still shocks me, as they preach what they pretend is the Gospel, and when someone opposes it (often because they know it runs in stark contradiction of Christ’s teachings), the Christians begin to view their opposition as someone to be fought and defeated, rather than educated and saved.

There is no love in the message of Evangelical Christianity today. There is the perpetuation of self-love, the idea that we should all fool ourselves into believing in God so we can get to heaven and avoid hell, but there is no genuine love for the lost; there can be none, because in order to love one’s neighbor, one must first have discovered how to love God. The second greatest commandment stems from the first. Love God, and you will love people. Fight the one’s you claim you wish to save, and it’s safe to say you love neither them nor the One who created them.
