I've been having a lot of "coincidental" things happen to me recently. I've been thinking a ton about the 6th chapter of Luke and all of its implications upon us as disciples in today's world. And then, someone emailed me today with some questions on the last message I did at SHOUT. And also today, these three articles ended up in my inbox - each one seeming to have quite a bit to do with my thinking recently. I found them to be extremely interesting, so I thought I would link to them here if anyone out there would like to read them. I recommend you do.
The first article is actually a Barna study that reveals the type of life Christians desire. Compare this to the life of sacrifice and humility Jesus wants us to live (actually, I thought the results were moderately encouraging).
The second article is a related Barna survey. This study looks at some of the data from the above study and puts it into the context of pursuit of the American dream.
The third and final article is one from USA Today and is about time, and specifically, how the way we view time (our lives) can dramatically alter our outlook on life, health, wealth, and relationships.
I thought all of these articles were good for further thought on what it means to be a disciple and apostle of Jesus.
