“. . . I think Jesus
has a lot of fans these days. Fans who cheer for Him when things are going
well, but who walk away when it’s a difficult season. Fans who sit safely in
the stands cheering, but they know nothing of the sacrifice and pain of the
field. Fans of Jesus who know all about Him, but they don’t know Him.
“But Jesus was never
interested in having fans. . . . My concern is that many of our churches in
America have gone from being sanctuaries to becoming stadiums. And every week
all the fans come to the stadium where they cheer for Jesus but have no
interest in truly following Him. The biggest threat to the church today is fans
who call themselves Christians but aren’t actually interested in following
Christ. They want to be close enough to
Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires anything from
them.”
–Kyle Idleman in “Not
a Fan.”

This reminds me of the "Three Dollars Worth of God" quote I came across awhile back. http://acooker.blogspot.com/2009/08/three-dollars.html
I'll pass along your comment to Roma, Alexis. The moving is going well so far, although selling the house isn't going as quickly as we had hoped. But the timing is in God's hands!

That's a really good quote, Amy, and so very true! Thanks for sharing!
