I can imagine sitting in a conference room, filled with people of all types, all glued to a metal foldable chair. In the back is a single pot coffee maker with lukewarm watered down coffee inside. In the front of the room is a podium, and a man approaching. The man is me. I stand, leaning forward onto the podium, and mutter "Hi, I'm Michael. And I'm a sinner." The audience then replies "Hi Michael."
Is this what Christianity is about? Realizing you're a sinner, working towards your 1000 days pin of no sin, and speaking to support groups? I can't even go a day without sinning, never mind 1000.
There is more to life, than worrying about my own sin. And that is love. God calls us to greater things, like discipleship. God calls us to be better things. God calls us to love, and serve, and spread joy and live in a heaven on earth.
God has called me to the World Race. To go, and be His disciple.
Jesus' disciples didn't stay in one spot, enjoying the comfort of their pillow seats, and spreading the word of Jesus for one hour every Sunday. No. They left with very little money and belongings, spreading the word of Jesus day in and day out to every corner of the word. Loving everyone they came in contact with.
So I go.
