Every Christian is called to be a disciple-maker, not merely a McGospel consumer. Before we can make disciples, we must become one. (Luke 14:26)

Jesus is my only King. He gives me a whopper of an opportunity. He invites me to continually partake of His divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4) He supersizes my joy with His presence, grace, and glory.

I am hungry for so much more than McGospel once a week. Fast-food Christianity won’t make me a disciple.

If you want to experience Jesus' love, forgiveness, and purity, you don't need to be in a church. When you are ready to surrender your life to Him, He'll reveal Himself to you wherever you are. (Matthew 11:28)

I see both the radical left and the self-righteous right as equally dangerous. Governments controlled by self-righteous Christians have done terrible things ever since Roman Emperor Constantine. I want to see people who claim to be Christians become Christ-like in love.

I can't find arrogant, disrespectful, blaming, and insulting Christians anywhere in the Bible, but they're all over social media.

Anger, unkindness, hostility, arrogance, self-righteousness, and accusations are not the biblical way to spread Christianity. They promote a false and deceptive gospel. (Galatians 1:6-9)
17
Many people who call themselves Christians are arrogantly accusing people and blaming them for all sorts of things. The Bible calls Satan "the accuser." (Revelation 12:10) It's best not to become a fellow accuser.

The devil distorts the truth with lies, (John 8:44) accusations, (Revelation 12:10) and the denial of reality. If you train yourself to recognize his temptations, (1 Corinthians 10:13) resist his deceptions, and draw near to God, the devil will flee from you. (James 4:7)
18
Jesus called the Holy Spirit "the Spirit of truth." (John 16:13) Pride pollutes the truth (James 4:6) by justifying and glorifying self-focused desires, feelings, and opinions. Purify your heart by denying yourself (Matthew 16:24) and humbly pursuing truth. (John 8:32)

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." (Matthew 5:8) Let the purity of God's Spirit flow (1 Thessalonians 5:19) freely from within you, (John 7:38) transform your heart, (2 Corinthians 5:17) and reveal His reality. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)

Listen to God with your heart and experience the objectivity of His Presence. Learn to distinguish God's inner objective voice from the voice of deception, and from your own subjective self-talk. Continually absorbing the Bible with an open, humble heart will help you do that.

The voice of God speaking to your heart is no more "subjective" than a friend's voice speaking in your ear. God, the Creator of all that exists, is the most objective being in the universe.
Some people say that believing you are hearing the voice of Jesus, God in human flesh, (John 1:14) is only a subjective experience. However, if Jesus is truly the Creator and is actually speaking within you, hearing His voice is one of the most objective experiences you can have.
The Bible declares Jesus to be "Emmanuel -- God with us." (Matthew 1:23) Thomas, one of Christ's disciples, called Jesus, "My Lord and my God. (John 20:28) Jesus' disciple, John, calls Him the Word and says that He is God. (John 1:1)
23
If you deeply ponder the Bible books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, you will soon hear Jesus speaking to and leading you. His words will burn in your heart and empower you to believe in Him, (John 3L16) obey Him, (John 14:15) and rely on Him day and night. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
33
Over and over, Jesus tells me He is the way, the truth, and the light. (John 14:6) I believe Him because when I listen to and obey what He says, He leads me down the path of freedom by shining His Light (John 8:12) of truth brightly within me.
