What Disturbs You?

Why do we pay more attention to some political statement than we do the words of Jesus? Why are we more upset by the weather than the poor around us? Why are we more disturbed by the our NCAA March Madness brackets getting wrecked (mine are gone) than we are those who are abused next door?

What disturbs you? The truth is the words of Jesus disturb me. They mess with the way I live if I take them to heart. To follow Christ means a change of thinking and living. It is not a casual thing. Following Christ should really mess with your life. That is why we use the word "conversion". But are we really converting to Christ and his ways or are we trying to make him fit our way of living?
