1. What do you do that demonstrates a passionate commitment of follow Christ?
The first and foremost step to follow Christ is reading the Word of God. Right after my conversion, I was very curious to know more about Jesus and Christianity. So I started reading the Bible, but I barley understood. Then I was told to pray before reading, asking the wisdom. I did. To my surprise, the Holy Spirit revealed everything to me with clear understanding. The second step is transformation. I found many things in my life to be corrected according to the Bible. The Word of God became a mirror reflecting my inner person to me. As a result, I was fully transformed. I surrender myself to the Lord to mold me and shape me according to His will. Complete obedience is the third requirement to follow Christ. I must fully obey to all “do’s and don’ts” in the Bible and complete all righteousness; that is not easy. Sometimes, I am driven to some worldly things, which is not right in the eyes of God. Then I feel that I am going away from the Lord which is very hard. So quickly I go back to Him asking His forgiveness. Then the Holy Spirit embraces me and refreshes me with His unconditional love. These are all about the relationship between me and my Lord.
Now I have to follow His footsteps in the community. “God is love” (1 John 4:8). He died for me because of love. Then the question arises; “do I live for Him?” yes, I must. How? People are going to be perished without knowing the Savior, and I am called to preach the Gospel to nations in order to winning souls to the Christ Jesus. Before I was saved, as a medical doctor, I thought that the medical profession was the best service that can save patients’ lives. God taught me that I could not give life to ...

... God (Ephesians 6:10-18) as my guide line. Discerning spirit is another wonderful gift not to be cheated by people. On the other hand, the challenges are there not to be disappointed, but to be strengthened and encouraged. They shape, sharp and mold our characters. Facing challenges provides the spiritual maturity handling different kinds of problems and issues and dealing with various people as well. Is it not profitable? It is not easy, but I have never been along in the midst of challenges during this journey with Christ Jesus. If I face some problem that I had never before, I straight away go the Word of God and find the answer. The throne of grace is always my refuge, and also I make all of my decisions on my knees. This is how I manage to save my salvation and keep my life holy while living in this corrupted world. It is nothing else, but by His amazing grace.

    We observed a series of skits that exhibited the attributes of Jesus. During the final skit, while we were sitting inside the K-Life gym, a black curtain dropped and we saw three men hanging from crosses. The men looked as if they had taken baths in blood, and they were struggling to speak and breathe; the man on the middle cross portrayed Jesus. The skit continued to act out the entirety of the crucifixion and the presence of the Holy Spirit was prominent in the room. I was astonished when I realized that He suffered and died on the cross for a person as broken and sinful as me. After the skit was over, Joe slowly walked out to speak to everyone who had just watched the simulated crucifixion. He revealed to us how undeserving we are of God’s grace, and how Jesus died for every person that has ever lived. He continued on with his disquisition and we eventually began to worship. At this point in time I had begun to pray to Jesus, that he would take over my life and use me in a way that glorifies him. I did not know what this would look like, but I desired to be a living example of a man of God.

    I grew up in a home with a family that attend church weekly and was active in the church family. I knew about God and about His son but I never remember the story of salvation and the personal need for a savoir. As a teenager I walked away from the religion that I thought did not offer my anything. In my thirties, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and I immediately started my negotiations with God. Little did I know that He was not a negotiator but it was during this time in my life that I needed God more than He needed me. Since accepting the gift of God’s love, the salvation of a Savoir, and the renovation of my heart, I look to God for the path of my life. I share Gods truth through my career change to a Christian nob-profit that’s vision is to share God’s love to the community through the platform of pregnancy care and family services. Personally I have fulfilled God’s call to help the less fortunate by adopting a sibling group and participating and supporting mission trips to third world countries to support his children and missions there. My final piece of God’s plan I feel lead to complete is to volunteer my professional expertise and finances to work with a mission group that provides laboratory services to third world mission hospitals.

  • Six Characteristics Of Christianity: My Discourse Community Is Christianity

    My family taught me about Jesus at a young age, so I always knew I wanted to have a close relationship with him. Knowing that God is going to have my back no matter what was the best feeling to me. He will never leave a person or turn his back on them. The fact that the Bible guides people is one of the amazing things to me because one scripture can change a person whole life. My discourse community teaches a person about faith, love, and everything a person will ever need in life. Jesus encourages people, and supports people when they fail. Being a Christian motivates me and gives me a meaning of life. Being saved is easy, but the hard part is following his guidelines. He knows people are going to make a lot of mistakes in life, but the fact that he doesn’t judge them is amazing. Accepting Christ means a person has escaped that judgment and therefore they will have external life. Being a part of this discourse community has brought me to a new place in life, and for that I am

  • Gospel of John and Mission

    ...Today as a Christ follower, we will never be satisfied if our life is not bearing lasting fruit because we are not fulfilling the purpose for which we were “grafted “into the Vine. Let’s examine the “fruit” of our lives. Is it the kind of fruit that reveals the character of Christ? Let’s not settle for fruitless Christianity. God will do the work of making us fruitful – we must only abide, surrendering our lives to His mission of making disciples of all nations through us. The whole notion of mission is to stretch out to work the work of evangelism not through hierarchy, sovereignty, rather through humbleness, hospitality, affection love for the others. That is what Jesus who portrayed as the one who we do not deserve to untie His sandals straps in the first Chapter of John, later become feet washer, intimate with humanity leaving His equality with God.

    For those of you who are going on to another Christian community, I challenge you to be the different ones. Christian groups too often say, "yeah, praise God," and then not always walk in His steps. They see Christianity as just obeying the big rules instead of a daily faith relationship with God. They might even ask you to do subtle things that break God's rules. Take that extra step and really be a leader. Be the one person that everyone can look up to and say that you have the love of Jesus in your heart. Show them that you are truly on fire for God.
