Radical discipleship

     Lead and they will follow. What if we truly lived a life worth following? Is there any better goal in life to strive for? Some of you must think I am crazy. Just think for a minute, What if you could say live as I am living. Some of you may feel like your not called to lead, I think thats a copout. Mathew 5:19 says "but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."(N.I.V)  Whoever, now thats a word that does not leave anybody out. We are all called to lead!  Hebrews 10:24-25 calls us to "spur one another on in love and good deeds, and not give up meeting with one another...". God wants us to rub off on the ones around us. How do we do that? The scriptures are God breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in rightousness.(2nd Timonthy 3:16)  To be radical we must educate ourselves on where the bible calls us to obedience and shows us Gods promises. Even in our sins and disobedience we can lead, ask for forgiveness, repent, move forward, and press on.  John 8:31-32 says "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." As we do this we will step forward in a life that cannot be denied or ignored. Mathew 5 calls us the light of the world and a city on a hill. Imagine that road trip, where you have been in hours of darkness no citys no towns, then up over the hill you see it the city. The city wrapped in its beauty, shining alone, its breathtaking. You all know what i am talking about. Will you be that light? Will you live a life worth living, better yet a life worth following?
