What Would Jesus Do?

January 12, 2009

What would Jesus do? I remember before I became a Christian, the popularity of this expression in the 1990s. Admittedly, I have asked myself this question in a moral dillemma. After all, it seems reasonable for a follower of Jesus to want to live like Jesus. (What a concept right?)

Oh and in case you are wondering… that expression is not a new idea from the 1990s, try the 1890s, from Charles Monroe Sheldon’s book, “In His Steps:”What Would Jesus Do?” Hip huh?

I found a man I admire. One pastor in Michigan decided to really focus on what Jesus would do and decided to live like him for a year.  Read here.

I admire this man for taking a first century Jewish approach.  For going the extra mile. I know I couldn’t do it…

Gonna party like its 2009?

Happy New Year! Made it through 2008 just fine; maybe 2009 will be divine? I know that was cheesy, but it rhymes!

So, it is that time to make some resolutions. In the past I resolved to make a million dollars, become famous and lose weight. I decided this year I am going to be realistic. My resolution: be a better blogger. I am not going to even quantify that. I just want to write more better and more often. Is that okay with everyone?

Happy New Year. May God bless you abundantly and may you know God more this year then ever.
