   eric -

   fantastic post! and you are so right…

   the people that get this truth are the people who have all the fun following Jesus…and, see Him do things in and through them that they never dreamed possible. i guarantee those disciples had no idea what they were signing up for when they agreed to follow Jesus!

   thanks for sharing this.

   How true. In church we can get so caught up in “What’s in it for me/you?” theology. I think that turns a lot of people off because it’s a very consumer oriented mindset. Now, you tell people that there is something they can be a part of and contribute to… a story they can be a player in that is bigger than themselves… that’s attractive.

   Great word, yet a word rarely taught in our churches.

   It’s a lot harder to live life that’s driven by “giving”, especially in a society that’s driven by “getting”.

   Amazing.
