Crazy Love

Few books come along that can slow me from my hectic pace and make me consider what I’m doing. Crazy Love, by Francis Chan has been one of those books. To go one step further and say there are only a few books I have ever read – out of literally hundreds, that has required me make a midcourse direction in my service and in my attitude toward following Christ.

Taken directly from the Preface of Chan’s book, “This book is written for those who want more Jesus. It is for those who are bored with what American Christianity offers. It is for those who don’t want to plateau, those who would rather die before their convictions do.” Another excerpt – “Before we look at what is wrong and address it, we need to understand something. The core problem isn’t the fact that we’re lukewarm, halfhearted, or stagnant Christians. The crux of it all is why we are this way. It is because we have an inaccurate view of God. We see Him as a benevolent Being who is satisfied when people manage to fit Him into their lives in some small way. We forget that God never had an identity crisis. He knows that He’s great and deserves to be the center of our lives. Jesus came humbly as a servant, but He never begs us to give Him some small part of ourselves. He commands everything from His followers.”

Thank you for your interest up to this point. This study won’t be for every one who calls Jesus, Lord. Some are unable to make this type of commitment in their walk with Him at this time. However, for those who will, I am so excited for what is about to take place for you. Please see below for more details regarding this study.

A preview meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 8th, at 7:00 PM at The Coffee Company. The address is 444 East Elk Avenue in Elizabethton, Tennessee. At this preview, we will be giving an overview of what to expect, and, get to know one another better. You do not have to have a book at this point We will explain the process during our time together. If you have never attended a study like this, don’t worry, most people haven’t either! Please feel free to bring a friend or two that can grow with you through this experience. Since we don’t have any idea how many may be interested, we are asking that you pre-register, be either stating you will be attending or you maybe attending.
