Answering God's Call to Discipleship

Book excerpt: In answering God's call to discipleship, each person must willfully surrender his or her powerful and natural desire to live according to self-seeking worldly rules and norms. Instead comes the commitment to strive to live ever closer to Him in love, trust, and obedience. This decision is radical and thus difficult. But the rewards of striving to become a Christ-centered spiritual being rather than a worldly one are profound and miraculous. The path to living according to God's will rather than our own is clearly directed by Scripture and is unequivocally defined by the life, teachings, sacrificial death, and resurrection of Christ. Every step is guided by the Holy Spirit. This book of daily readings is designed to help take you day by day into seeking life in His very presence. In it, you will find insights and advice on the struggles that are part of the spiritual growth each individual must have to be transformed into His image, which He intended at the very moment of your creation. It is part of John's ministry of teaching, speaking, and writing about the power and glory of actually answering Christ's universal call to His discipleship. Visit www.johnwhenderson.com.
