Christian Vs. Disciple

         Look at you. You wake up everyday and say your little prayer. You do your daily routine and don't forget to say grace. You have your fancy house with your fancy car and your even fancier wife.You go to church and volunteer with the toddlers because you know that nap time for them means nappy bye for you.You can recite scripture like no other. "Think fast; Pslams151..." Looking sharp while carrying around a big ol' neat and crisp Bible on Sunday morning.  Yep, you're a Christian alright.

         Listen, anyone can call themselves a Christian but how many of us can classify ourselves Disciples of Christ? What is the difference between a Christian and a Disciple? Well,  in today's society a Christian goes to church on Sunday with his family and praise God. A Disciple invites the mailman, his neighbor, his drunk uncle to worship with him - Matthew 28:16. A Christian skips offering this week because money is tight. A Disciple gives his10% and offering trusting God will provide. -Matthew 6:25-34. A Christian reads his Bible and memorize scripture.  A Disciple lives out the Bible uses it as a guide. - Psalm 119:105 & James 2:17. A Christian fellowship with other Christians and talk about the sermon. A Disciple fellowship with the heathens and talk about the sermon. - Matthew 5:47. I think you get my point. 

        Church, we have to get out of our comfort zone.  I challenge all of you to be a Christian I mean a Disciple.

My Testimony

Looking back at everything I've been through , I feel a multitude of things . Shame, regret, thankful, blessed and more than anything, I feel loved . God was in my life at every scene whether I acknowledged it or not . I believe he exists because I exist. I know this may sound  cliche' but I should be dead right now . When I was 4 years old , laying up in the hospital dying slowly with cancer and DOCTORS ( people that are super smart and went to school for like a lot of years ) said there was nothing they could do I was a goner , HE was there . When I got depressed , lost all hope in everything and tried to put an end to my misery , HE was there . When every relationship I have ever known had failed , whether it was my parents , my husband , my friends or myself and all I could do was get on my knees and cry out to him, yep you guessed it HE was there . Don't get me wrong , I was a child that was raised in the church . I memorized verses , sang in the choir , and even taught Sabbath school for the younger ones . I always know of His existence just really didn't understand His purpose . Only now at 20 3/4 do I fully comprehend His purpose ... and mine . It's been quite a journey but it's not over yet . I know when life gets me down and I get lost he'll be waiting right around the corner waiting for me to find him again.
