Wanna be like Jesus?

Want to be an imitator of Christ? (1 Col 11:1) try this...

"Jesus was short on sermons, long on conversations; short on answers, long on questions; short on abstractions and propositions, long on stories and parables; short on telling you what to think, long on challenging you to think for yourself; short on condemning the irreligious, long on confronting the religious."
-Author and Pastor
Brian McLaren

  1. really goes along with the song doesn't it?

    just so you know... in simple things like challenging others to think you are like your JESUS. You're also like HIM in other ways as well. Continue in your desire to be more and more like HIM!

    Thanks for yet another challenge!
