Howard King shared The Church at the Cross of Christ's photo. IN GRACE MY FRIENDS, www.facebook.com/howard.king.71653 www.churchatthecrossofchrist.com/site/cs/Index.aspWhen I reached the 5000 mark with facebook friends, I had to take followers! I love the word follow! Jesus said to many "come follow me" But it goes against our grain to simply follow! People have such a hard time following people. Could it be we still want to be our own independent God?! We want to take credit! We still want the praise! Paul says to Timothy, 2Ti 3:10 But thou hast fully known (followed) my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Timothy followed, knowing Paul's special doctrine given to him, by Jesus! This special doctrine of grace, by faith! The teaching of the cross, reconciliation and justification through Jesus! That we are in Jesus and He in us! Without the law, temple, and ordnances! Then there were the battles, fights, persecutions that followed! From Jews and gentiles. YET HE FOLLOWED! IMMATURE BELIEVERS FOLLOW MATURE BELIEVERS, UNTIL THEY ARE MATURE! Even if they suffer for it! Have you ever followed someone? Have you ever been discipled? "COME FOLLOW ME"
