Don't be a wimp


Do you want to feel more united to Jesus right now, brother? Do the hard thing, the thing that makes you wince. Do it for God. Do it wherever the holy discomfort lies. You will feel the brotherhood in a more profound way than yesterday. This is the yell of the heart for every true God’s man: I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ- God’s righteousness. I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death.
