I was on twitter a couple days ago and saw this tweet posted.

Now, as I mentioned the other day, I’m a huge Francis Chan fan, so I immediately jumped on this offer and went and got myself a copy of the audiobook. One of the things I really about Francis Chan is his willingness to say things that will make you uncomfortable.

In this book, He talks about what it really looks like to be totally in love with Jesus. In regard to that, he also calls out the lukewarm, the ones who say they’re Christians, but do not follow Christ’s teachings. The ones who go to Church, but are not disciples of Christ. Here’s a quote:

Some people claim we can become Christians without necessarily becoming disciples. I wonder then why the last thing Jesus told us was to go into the world making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that He had commanded. You’ll notice that he didn’t add, “But, hey, if that’s too much to ask, tell them just to become Christians. You know, the people that get to go to Heaven without having to commit to anything.”

That’s a super challenging statement he makes there. He basically says that there’s a difference between being a “Christian” and being a disciple of Christ, and that the only true Christians are the ones who are disciples. I’m curious to hear what some of your thoughts on the matter are.

Do you agree? Disagree?
Are you challenged by it?
Or do you think he’s full of it?
Discuss.
