Around the next bend

Francis Chan, in his book Crazy Love, says that "if life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream" (95). Too many of us are floating downstream, oblivious to what might await us around the next bend. Jesus warns us against gaining the whole world, yet losing our lives (Luke 9:25). Think about it. Sunday, May 29, 2011.
