2 Peter 3:17 (ESV)
Making the decision to follow Jesus isn’t the finish line…it’s the starting block.
John 15:18-20 (ESV)
John 16:33 (ESV)
“One of the ways I’ve tried to orient my life… is to pay attention and ask two questions: What stirs my affections for Jesus Christ and what robs me of affections? The thing that’s going to steal my affections for Jesus is not black tar heroin, it’s Netflix. What’s gonna steal my affections for Jesus is not some scantily clad woman that tries to seduce me… It’s going to be scrolling through Instagram and coming across something I should scroll more quickly past, but I linger for a couple of seconds. [The things that robs me of my affections for Jesus] are almost always morally neutral now, 30 years into following Jesus. I have tried to give no provision to the flesh as Paul writes in Romans. I am serious about putting those things to death, but these morally neutral things, they’re sneaky. They’re not wrong, they’re not right, they’re morally neutral and yet they will satiate… and make you lack hunger for the thing you should be most hungry for.” – Matt Chandler
