Starving Jesus

I just finished reading a book by the guys who run XXXchurch.com, a ministry addressing topics most would rather not talk about.  The title of the book is "Starving Jesus: Off the Pew, Into the World."  This book was an interesting read for me.  I spread it out over about 45 days, so bits and pieces caught me.  A couple of things that are of note in this read.

1. It's easy for us as Christians to get caught up in the weekly routines of going to church and forget to actually be the church.
2. The call of God on our lives is to go and do, not sit and listen.  I'm not just referring to church either.  It's easier for me to sit and listen to a podcast or read a book than it is to go and actually get my hands dirty and do something.  I'm tired of doing nothing.

The book is a bit irreverent and I liked that.  J.R. and Craig tag-team the writing, and I really appreciated both of their perspectives.  The book has great inserts of Scripture - almost as section headings within the chapters.  The book moved me.  It has moved me to to take action and not be content sitting still and starving Jesus any longer.  My calling as a Christ-follower is no longer ignorable.  

My love must move me to act.  My love must move me to give.  My love must move me to pray.

I know I'm not alone in this journey and I hope that you, too, have had your moment where you have said, "Enough is enough.  I'm created for more than what I'm currently experiencing."  Jesus wants to meet you and me right where we are and when he does, we can't help but be changed.
