AS A CHRISTIAN WE ARE TO BE A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST. THIS MEANS WE ARE TO FOLLOW AFTER HIM, NOONE ELSE. WE TAKE HIS WORDS OVER EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE BIBLE FIRST TO OBEY AND USE FOR INSTRUCTION ON THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
BEING IN MINISTRY I HAVE SEEN MANY KINDS OF CHRISTIANS. IT'S MY DUTY TO POINT THEM TO THE CROSS. SOMETIMES A PERSON WANTS TO COPY MY EXAMPLE AND STOP FOLLOWING CHRIST. FOR EXAMPLE: A WOMAN WILL FIX HER HAIR LIKE MINE OR START USING A SING SONG VOICE. THE MEN USE CERTAIN CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IN THEIR LIFESTYLE. I WARN THEM GENTLY TO PROTECT MY SALVATION. GOD HAS ME SHARE WITH THEM THE DANGERS OF FOLLOWING A PERSON AND NOT JESUS.
SOME CHRISTIANS FOLLOW AFTER A FAMOUS PASTOR. WHEN THE PASTOR FALLS, THE PERSONS' FAITH IS DIMINISHED. THE CHRISTIAN HAS TAKEN THEIR EYES OFF OF JESUS AND LOOKED TO A PERSON MADE OF FLESH FOR INSPIRATION. THAT IS WRONG.
PLEASE, GENTLEREADERS, DON'T FOLLOW ME. FOLLOW AFTER JESUS. THIS MAKES ME THINK OF A SONG:
SWEETLY LORD, HAVE I HEARD THEE CALLING "COME FOLLOW ME." AND I KNOW WHERE THY FOOTSTEPS LEAD ME, LEAD ME TO THEE.
FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS THAT MAKE MY PATHWAY GLOW. I WILL FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS WHERE'ER THEY GO.
