" People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress."
" Obsessed people love those who hate them and who can never love them back."
" The idea of holding back certainly did not come from Scripture. The Bible teaches us to be consumed with Christ and to faithfully live out His words."
" There has to be more to our faith than friendliness, politeness, and even kindness."
" Godliness with contentment is great gain." 1 Tim 6:6
" People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another."
" Why is it that the story of someone who has actually done what Jesus commands resonates deeply within us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical/intense? or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is? The way it should be?"
"A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth. As Martin Luther put it, 'There are two days on my calendar:this day and that day.'
