Chapter 5: "Serving Leftovers to a Holy God"
>> Tuesday, April 20, 2010
In Chapter 5, Chan references many scriptures that point to the conclusion that a "lukewarm Christian" is an oxymoron. On page 85 he writes, "The thought of a person calling himself a "Christian" without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd." Although, many of us have read Revelation 3:15-18 (...."I am about to spit you out of my mouth.....") and other verses referenced, was this chapter an eye opener for you? What has God shown you through this chapter?
What is your response to Chan's statements about the state of our hearts when we ask such things as "If I do x, y and z...will I still go to heaven?" On page 86 he writes that the question quickly becomes, "Can I got to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus?" How about his reminder that His grace covers us....His "extravagant grace"?
Did anything pop out at you in his section on "offering leftovers" and how Father measures everything by the way that we love? Respond to this chapter to share what God is revealing to you with the group...whether it has been mentioned in this post or not.
