Obedience

During a Sunday message from Luke 6 we read the words of Jesus calling His disciples to obedience.  A quote I wanted to use but time did not permit was this very good quote from Dr. Kent Hughes on obedience:

“Every time we truly hear the Word and are authentically moved, we must resolve to act upon it.  Most of the time the resolution will not be dramatic or grand, but what seems to be some small action.  Perhaps it will be a note written, an adjustment at work, an apology, a gift, a few words of witness, a commitment, a kind word, a subtle change in attitude.  But the key is to do it! Do not procrastinate or you will forget it.  And when you do it, you will be stepping into true discipleship.  Each step will become more natural and a little easier.”
