The 28 day Jesus Challenge...

Ok, here it goes. I'm ready to be a doer of the Word. A real DOER. DO-ER. Not just a hearer or writer or "blogger" of the Word.I want to walk away from what I read and take action; actually understand what the scripture commands and walk in obedience. I talked to Seth today about reading a chapter a day in the book of Matthew and whatever commands we come across, to do them. I heard of this idea several years ago when I heard a pastor's testimony. When he was just beginning his relationship with the Lord a dear friend of his challenged him to make the effort to get up early and spend time in the Word. He did and began to take every single commandment to heart. Not in a legalistic way- but in a literal way. It absolutely changed his life.

I want to carry out this challenge publicly for two main reasons: Accountability and Transparency.
I read so many blogs and facebook statuses and interviews that are manufactured... and I am right at the forefront. Every word is weighed, every sentence tweaked, every thought re-invented to sound the very best. The best foot is forward. Well, I'm putting both feet forward and for those of you who have seen my feet, you know that is a bit humbling. It's not like it's a huge risk anyway. I think I have maybe 6 regular followers (Thanks, guys!) It's late, so I'll start tomorrow. I can't wait to see what's in those pages...
