just give me Jesus

In the devotional for June 19th in My Utmost For His Highest, Oswald Chambers says:

Jesus did not say to make converts to your way of thinking, but He said to look after His sheep, to see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Him. We consider what we do in the way of Christian work as service, yet Jesus Christ calls service to be what we are to Him, not what we do for Him. Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.

Today we have substituted doctrinal belief for personal belief, and that is why so many people are devoted to causes and so few are devoted to Jesus Christ.

Are you being called?

Registrations for the GodBlogCon are not coming in so quickly. This is of concern to those who are putting the Con together. Still, we wait upon the Lord, and trust in His good works.

Be sure to check the GBC prayer blog and pray in concert with others for the GodBlogCon. Some good stuff on this blog.
