Barbarians for Christ

I am in a men's bible study and we are going through the book by Erwin McManus called The Barbarian Way. As I read this book, I often think that the views are extreme and wonder if I could live that kind of life. I ask myself, "What will people think if I did that or say that," but that is the point. Jesus never said to follow me and it will be comfortable or easy. Jesus wants us to fully seek Him and His Kingdom. Jesus simply said to Follow ME. When we look at the disciples in scripture, the disciples left everything and followed Him. We can't get hung up on how other people will view our actions and be fully committed to Christ and the plan that He has for our lives. Barbarians are the radicals pushing the limits on organized religion and truly seek the kingdom of God.

I want to be a Barbarian for Christ.
