We are called to make choices about a "new" life and that life needs to be visible and relevant. People need to see a difference; they need to see mercy, compassion and acceptance. Moralism does not cut it. Religion does not matter. Sprituality in the image of Christ is critical.A.

One part of the great commission says that we are to teach disciples to obey everything that the Lord has commanded. It does not come naturally. We must unlearn many ways of acting and thinking.

Speaking as someone who was raised giving more importance to what men think than God it was easy for me to dismiss it and never look at the Bible, assuming that it was just more of men.
