Jesus loved verbs. He loved action words such as"live, come, rest, learn, hear, give, go "and even "die." So wouldn't it make sense that the people who claim to follow Jesus would love the same words that Jesus loved?
Unfortunately, somewhere along the way someone tried to make the word "Christian" an adjective. So now people speak of "Christian" books and "Christian" music and "Christian" schools. When people use the word "Christian" as an adjective instead of a noun, it loses its meaning. Maybe this explains why so many churches have lost their purpose.
In "Jesus Prom, "Jon Weece explains how our goal as Christians is to become increasingly "more" like Jesus. Jesus loved people, which means we should love people. We don't "kind of" love people--we love them the way Jesus loves us. We impersonate his every move. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, Jesus should be flattered by the actions of his Church.
