To Live Like Christ

Recently, it is been on my heart that I have not been living like a true Christian. The meaning of Christian is "Christ-like or Live like Christ". This got me thinking, that I am following a religion about Christ Jesus, and not following Him. Have any of you felt that way? In Matthew 4:19, Jesus says to his soon to be disciples, "...Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!" NLT.

Currently, I am reading a book called "Detox For The Overly Religious" by David Putman. I don't believe I am overly religious, and I have long strived to live like Jesus, and follow Him, not the hoops man has created in the Christian faith. But I do think that I do not truly follow Him. In the book, David Putman states that many of us in the Western culture believe in Jesus, but do not put it to a life choice. James 2:19 states: "You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror." NLT.

I will be posting video blogs updating what I am experiencing, and my thoughts on youtube, which will also be posted here. For those of you who wish, feel free to call me out, and remind me of my mission if I fall astray.

Until Next Time,

Yep. Bout the sum of how I feel a lot of the time. I question what I should be doing, what God's will is for my life, and how I can live better for Him.
