"It is not the knowing but the holding of truth that marks someone as a disciple of Christ. Too often, Christians are knowledge rich, but application poor. We pride ourselves in having "right" doctrine, but without conviction - the kind that leads to commitment, competence, and character development - our lifestyles differ little from the cultural norm and don't even hint at Christ within us."
-Intentional Disciplemaking, Ron Bennett
sigh.. sad, but true.. a crisis that is hitting so many of us these days, myself included. :(
Lord, please have mercy and bring us beyond simply knowing Your Word to obeying it and living it out. Set us apart as Your disciples, that we may live lives worthy of You for Your glory alone. Amen.
