Disciple? When are you a Christian?

The problem most Christians have with their faith is that they turn their Christianity off and on. Jesus said that people will know we are His disciples if we obey His teaching.
This is my first attempt at a video blog. I call it “Disciple?” I enjoyed doing it and hope to do them regularly.

I like to call comforting verses or Scripture that you can look to for encouragement refrigerator verses. You ought to have them around, or even better, memorized to pull out when you need them. One of those is:
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Ps 34:18

In the beginning God said, “It is not good for man to be alone.” (Gen 2:18) It is ironic that humans, when given the choice, tend to go in the opposite direction of what God intended. When we try to use our own wisdom, our own feelings, we reject God’s wisdom. And when we do, the Bible labels it pride and [...]
