1 mo quo fo the day

This makes me sound like a serious reader...2 blog quotes in 1 day. This is a Don Miller quote from "Searching for God Knows What" talking about the disciple John...


The way John writes about Jesus makes you feel like the sum of our faith is a kind of constant dialogue with Jesus about whether or not we love Him. I grew up believing a Christian didn't have to love God or anybody else; he just had to believe some things and be willing to take a stand for the things he believed. John seemed to embrace the relational dynamic of our faith. And he did so in an honest tone, not putting a spin on anything. He revealed how none of the disciples truly understood Jesus and how they were all screwups, and he didn't make himself look good either; he just told it exactly as it was. That's guts, if you ask me.
