Checklist Jesus is my second major project. It is the fundamental gathering of the lessons that I have attempted to teach my students and churches over the majority of my ministry.
Our discipleship is the pursuit of the Nature of the Son Jesus Christ, as well as the purification of ourselves through the blood of His sacrifice through the washing of the church with the Word; it is the preparation of each one of us to meet the groom, and to be joined to him without fault, but with great joy!
There is not a Christian that I know that did not spend a majority of their formative years in the church with the oppressive idea that they must perform a laundry list of activities in order to be a “good Christian.” I say oppressive because the nature of the Law is oppressive. The law is the system of our religious organization that requires and restricts the movement, life, and worship of the believer. So much of church, and/or the activity of its members falls under one of two umbrella; Religion or Relationship.
Religion being the pursuit of perfection by our own merit, and Relationship being the only available response after we realize the awesome nature of the one who came to save us, and who gave himself for us that we might have life.
May you be blessed, and may the Kingdom grow as we walk together on this journey.
